  This morning whilst walking the dog,two ladies who are friends of my dog spotted a beaver swimming between the beach groynes. After each groyne it came ashore waddled up the beach & then went back to sea.
  
  It was a rather large beaver with the spoon tail probably the size of a fat cat.
  
  The view is that it swam out of the the Stour at Sandwich & got lost.
  
  Has anyone seen a beaver in the sea before?

  A Gold Star for me, I think. For resisting temptation.
