The local Wildlife Trust says 'extreme flooding' has meant a setback to the project.
The planned reintroduction of beavers to a county after 400 years has been delayed by "extreme flooding".
But the local Wildlife Trust, which is working with Anglian Water to release a family of beavers into a new enclosure at Delta Pit, said it was now aiming to complete work "before Christmas". The project is using metal fence posts because beavers can easily chew through wood, and mitigation measures are being put in place to restrict the animals from getting over or under the enclosure.
"However, after extreme flooding in October, we were asked by the Beaver Trust to make some larger scale amendments to the northern section of the fence - most of which is still under water."It said working in wet and muddy conditions was not "fun" and had proved "tricky".
