A walk in Swiss woods… #travel (almost) #SilentSunday

After all the rain we’ve had recently, it was good to have some sunshine last week. I thought I’d walk through the woods and see how the beaver dams (there are three) were getting on.

The first section of the wood
This previously dried up ditch has (a little) water in it now.
You can tell which trees are standing in the beaver pond…
The newest – and furthest from the lake – dam.

I tried to go on to the second dam, but it was so wet and muddy underfoot I gave up, and continued along the road to the third one nearest the lake and – I think – the oldest one.

Dam Three

I didn’t see evidence of new beaver activity – but maybe next time!

    I enjoyed the walk, Linda… even the mud!

      Me too – after such a long dry spell, we’re glad to have mud again!

      My son saw them earlier in the year – he went down to the dam at 02.00 one night, and they were beavering away!

        Sometimes you have to do that to catch sight wildlife.
