Beavers from above.
It’s far easier to appreciate the full impact of beaver activity from the air.
What can seem boggy, messy and muddy at ground level to some is, from above, a thriving mosaic of habitats engineered by nature’s most industrious ecosystem architects.

As traffic continues to rise and road networks expand, we must find more effective ways to protect our amphibian neighbours.
Ensuring their survival helps preserve the vital biodiversity and ecosystem functions they support.

Despite our best efforts, it was heartbreaking to see that 52 amphibians were still struck by cars.
Road mortality is a leading cause of the decline of Britain’s amphibians, and initiatives like "Toads on Roads," while invaluable, are not yet carried out on the scale we need.

370 Amphibians Moved
Over 14 hours, across 20 nights in March, we were able to help 370 toads, frogs, and newts safely cross our street to reach the wetlands below and spawn.
We even recorded the first presence of the Great Crested Newt—a European Protected Species—in our area!

Happy #InternationalBeaverDay!
This cute footage of a kit annoying and playing with who I thought was its dad was taken in August 2017. It was the first real close-up footage I’d ever captured of beavers in the wild.

Last night, as we removed the grate to rescue another pair of toads at the bottom of the gully, we were amazed to find a second pair already ascending the ladder to freedom.

This past Friday, amphibian escape ladders were built and installed in these gully pots thanks to Perthshire Wildlife, Tayside ARG, and a handful of dedicated volunteers with funding from Perth & Kinross Council.

Ladders Save Lives
Our street is an amphibian migration route. While patrolling over the last few weeks to move toads, newts, and frogs safely across, we discovered large numbers falling into deep gully pots where they couldn’t escape without help.
