I didn't realise they had been eradicated from East Anglia. Looking at my Birdtrack records, the last one I saw was in 2017 at the Ouse Washes (incidentally, the same place I saw my first and only Coypu in the late 80s, just before they too were eradicated).

Nor did I, but it's good news.

I never did see a British Coypu. Italian and Israeli, yes.....

Seen a few Coypu in France - in fact most recent visits. Last on 24th Dec last year.

Coypu are very common in Germany and the locals are highly enthusiastic about them.
Storks and coypu --- that's what the local grockles ask me about most.
Meanwhile Dutch ratcatchers are employed to try and limit Coypu numbers along rivers that run into the Netherlands.

Saw my first Coypu in Kenya! Seen them since in Argentina.

Good news, I hope they will be eradicated also on the Continent!

Aberdare National Park. They're at Naivasha as well I believe.

Yes I have seen coypu at Naivasha. My first were in Israel (Hula), then "real" ones in Argentina, then Naivasha.
