Baby wildlife!

First beavers born in Scotland following re-introduction.

Apparently there is a Mystery Beaver living somewhere on the Thames, but the articles never say where.

The Eyjafjallajökull webcam page has been augmented with links to webcams at Geysir and the Blue Lagoon (I do love the concept of creating a spa from powerplant effluvium).

We were watching sea otters on TV last night. I think that a baby sea otter must be the only thing in the world that is cuter than an adult sea otter :-)

(They are meant to have beavers at Slimbridge, but I've never seen one there in real life, think it's all a hoax designed to pull the punters in, muttermuttermutter)

They should put up signs "Have you seen this beaver?" ...

:grin:

I was half listening to the news this morning and misheard 'beavers' as 'eagles'. It was only when they started talking about dams that I twigged!

This is not to do with beavers, but I've just friended you because I read some of your Wimsey fic and loved it.

Incidentally, I was much amused by the way "Eyjafjallajökull" is pronounced on British TV and radio, that is to say "The Icelandic Volcano".

Glad you like the Wimseyfic. It's not a big fandom, but we do our best!

that is to say "The Icelandic Volcano"

It was very funny, and definitely a better solution than their mangled efforts. Though why the BBC couldn't have just coached them - it really isn't that hard - or come up with a passable consistent Anglisication, I don't know - what happens when the next tricky-to-pronounce Icelandic volcano comes along?
