Video shows wild beaver on the River Dyfi near Machynlleth , Wales .

Beavers disappeared from Britain about 400 years ago after being hunted to extinction.

Naturalist Iolo Williams said sighting was one of the "very, very best" things he'd ever seen.

In Wales , it is an offence to release beavers into rivers without a licence.

And we have to remember this is where farmers make their living, and anything negatively impacting that, if they're losing their crops because of flooding, who pays?" Iolo's River Valleys will be broadcast on BBC Two and BBC One Wales on 6 May at 19:00 and will also be available on BBC iPlayer ..
