Beavers create habitat suitable for #WaterVoles in Scottish rainforest

"The #voles, once abundant in #Scotland but now one of the country’s most threatened #animals, could thrive in the complex boundary between water and land that #beavers have created in Knapdale since their #reintroduction there in 2009... They’ve increased the edge habitat: instead of a harsh change from water to land, the edges along the burns and lochs are softened and seasonally flooded."

Beavers’ dams have created more places for water voles to hide from predators and hopefully flourish, say experts'

I love water voles, they're such cute little critters, but they do all kinds of damage to the banks of the drainage reens on the Gwent Levels. The burrowing to create nests and passageways often causes the reen bank to collapse; no wonder the navvies of years gone by persecuted them for ruining their canal banks.
