Two beaver kits and their mother have been spotted on camera for the first time at Longleat.

The beavers arrived on the estate in 2021 and have since established three breeding territories, said conservation and research manager, Dr Tom Lewis.

New footage shows them building dams, lodges and satellite lodges across the estate, boosting biodiversity.
