Two beaver kits have been born on Northumberland's Wallington Estate. The new arrivals mark the second consecutive year of successful breeding since four Eurasian beavers were reintroduced to the estate in July 2023.

Rangers recently observed signs of lactation in the adult female on wildlife cameras in early June. This week, camera trap footage captured the first sightings of the young kits with their mother.

The news of the two new arrivals come just one year and two days after the first kit to be born in Northumberland in over 400 years was announced last July.
