Look at these amazingly cute beavers – back in British waters for the first time in ages
Beavers are doing well in the UK and if you fancy photographing them, it's very possible - an experienced wildlife expert shares their secrets The post Look at these amazingly cute beavers – back in British waters for the first time in ages appeared first on Amateur Photographer .
A beaver-reintroduction scheme in the UK, located in rural Shropshire, has successfully brought these adorable and skilled water engineers back to British waters after a long absence. Experienced wildlife photographer Andrew Fusek Peters shares his tips for capturing memorable pictures of these elusive creatures. A special hide, equipped with one-way glass, was designed by Peters and his friend Terry Moore to observe beavers without disturbing them.
The hide, complete with a big pool for the beavers to utilize, offers an ideal location for photography. The tricky part of photographing beavers lies in their shy nature and sensitivity to noise; they tend to shy away from humans and have exceptional hearing. Photographers must use longer telephoto lenses and select high ISO settings to capture clear images in low light conditions.
Recently, the beaver population in Shropshire welcomed a new addition: a baby beaver, or 'kit.' While beavers can be found throughout the UK, a purpose-built hide like the one in Shropshire offers the best chance of spotting these charming creatures.
