In the green acres of a big country manor, a group of rangers and volunteers are searching for two rewilding beavers that have made their second "great escape".

It is believed Woody and Twiggy found their way out of the Mapperton Estate during bad weather that damaged their large enclosure.

The Eurasian pair were introduced to West Dorset from Scotland in 2022 under licence from Natural England, but have not been seen since January 2024.
