Wild beaver spotted in Norfolk for the first time in centuries - Wild beavers were once common in Britain but became extinct several centuries ago due to overhunting for their fur and oils.
- The sighting at Pensthorpe nature reserve included footage of the beaver collecting tree bark for building a habitat near the River Wensum.
- This event represents a significant milestone in ecological recovery efforts, according to the reserve manager Richard Spowage.
