I had last seen the beaver on August 9th, and thought it had now gone. But, it appeared again last evening (Aug. 14th). These views are unusual to see.
The beaver swam by towing a long branch of leaves.

It went to a delapidated dock, presumably as a place to temporarily live.

It began to eat the leaves near the shore. Beavers are herbivores, but it seems to just eat the leaves. The leaves appear to be willow, one of its favourites.

It eats the willow leaves outside the dock where it has greater room.

Alistair…a busy beaver…
