The Beavers in my garden...or almost!
published: 11/03/22, 20:09
As I pointed out a few days ago in this thread gardening / fast-growing-plant-in-a-garden-to-have-the-equivalent-of-0-5-a-1-stere-of-wood-per-year-t17079.html I have beavers that killed me some poplar planks and willow cuttings in the bottom of my garden...
My garden is bordered by a small stream...obviously...
This afternoon I therefore decided to make a punitive expedition * to try to find the dam of this colony of beavers...
So I went up the stream for more than 500m from my garden...and for the moment, no dam a priori but I'm not (yet) a beaver specialist! I did see some "restraints" but it doesn't look like real beaver dams...
So that you can understand and help a little with the analysis, here are all the photos of this little expedition...
Expedition which also made it possible to find a remnant of helium balloon and a kinder egg (with the surprise inside...not so old there was a QR code in the manual still readable)...and a remnant of bones from ?? ?
A very surprising fact: I saw small branches more than 1 m above the ground that were cut by beavers... I didn't know beavers climbed trees ...see below...
What's that a bone?
* to smash their pt..in dam... humor eh
