The BBC has shared some lovely footage of beavers making themselves at home at Willington Nature Reserve, which is a former RMC site and next to Willington quarry.

The dam-building rodents were filmed grooming each other and gnawing trees at Willington Wetlands, where they were released last year. This site is now also home to the rare Willow Tit bird.
