A beaver has been filmed exploring the bank of the River Avon New Cut underneath Bedminster Bridge today. The man who filmed the creature said he was blown away by spotting it swimming along the side of the river and admitted he initially thought it was a dog in the water.
James spotted the creature in the water coming upstream along the south bank of the New Cut towards Bedminster Bridge, parallel with Coronation Road at around 10.20am this morning, Thursday, April 13.
