- At least two new kits have appeared just 8 months after pioneering reintroduction of beaver family at Paradise Fields in Ealing, West London.
Within this time, the family of Eurasian beavers had settled in, built lodges, dams and new waterways.The new babies were born this Spring and have emerged outside the lodge in recent weeks at the fully accessible, public site at Paradise Fields, Greenford. The births mark the end of a more than 400 year absence of breeding beavers in urban London, once permanent residents in the capital, before hunting, habitat loss and persecution led to the loss of the species throughout the UK.

Check your facts. Enfield had baby beavers last year at Forty Hall Farm. Last time I checked that's in the London Borough of Enfield.
The distinction here is urban London.

New Scientist ... new alright, you are so new you have made a clip that is complete rubbish. This is not the first Beaver to be born in UK for 400 years at all. Exmore was the first- an entire year ago!
It says it was the first time in URBAN LONDON, nothing about the rest of the UK
