That slide again and signs of the thaw

Here is another photograph of the otter's slide. The thaw is with us now and the beavers are back at work.

The beavers are busy stripping the bark from trees they felled in the autumn. You can see some freshly stripped tree trunk in the middle of the picture.

The moment the thaw got under way the beavers at this burrow began to go out and about again.

A bit Breughelly, but where are the peasants?
