      There is a garden tool in Germany, which is called „Sauzahn“.
      Perhaps the beaver insulations could be loosened up more easily. Just one example of what the device looks like:

    Tearing down such a large dam certainly makes excellent video. You have to keep in mind that the penned up water is not only in the canal, but also in the water table of the ground on either side. Lowering the dam in increments allows the ground water adjacent to the canal to more slowly find its way into the canal.

    Good job! That was really hard work I'm sure. This dam highlighted the need to remove these dams as the erosion was blatantly obvious. It also made clear why you need an excavator in order to remove the dam fully to make it more difficult for the beavers to rebuild and for you to be able to work more efficiently. Removing all of that dam by manual labour alone is too much to ask. Especially when you are not being paid for it.

    Here on the Oregon coast in the USA, we have geese migrating every year in large numbers. We also have Swifts that spend the winter in South America and return in April; and May. We have two nesting boxes I made on our house and have hosted clutches of Swifts now for two years in a roll. Swifts pair for life, unless one dies for some reason, so we believe we had the same pair for the past two years, as they return to the same nests if they can. Last year, I was slow putting the boxes back up after taking them down to refresh over the winter. The Swifts came back and were all over out house where the boxes had been the two years before, so I had to quickly put the back up so they could move in. The first year they had three babies and last year four, which is the most they have typically each year.

    In the Midwest of the U.S. we have Canadian Geese that migrate South in the Fall/Winter and come back North in the Spring/Summer. Their migratory flight path runs through my state, so we see a lot of them flying around those times of the year. We also have a lot of farm land here and the birds stop to forage for corn, wheat, and soy beans that are left on the ground after the harvest in the Fall, before their long flight South.

    First time ever making comment on a video, enjoy your more than all others. At times could you continue to give your extra comments such as soil type, depth behind the blocking dam wall. I enjoy the drone views. I watch live safari from Africa, Djuma, and see your birds nest there which now return to your region. Keep up your good work, stay safe and maybe concider a belt on the outside of your outfit so water won't fill your wadders

    You do such a great job! To answer the migratory bird question: one bird we have in our area, the Kirtlands Warbler, migrates from winters in Bermuda to the Jack Pine groves of northern Michigan. They’re very particular about their nesting habitat and have been on the Endangered Species List for a long time. But the numbers are climbing so there’s hope.
