Beavers have been filmed in the Avalon Marshes.

The animals have been living in the River Bue for some time, but staff at the marshes said it was the first time they had been seen on the Somerset Wetlands National Nature Reserve.

Natural England has asked people to not try to find the beavers as they were a protected species and should not be disturbed.
