Spring has sprung, with birdsong and plenty of wildlife on the move.
It's migration time! You never know what you will see, but the regulars are on the move; some just passing through and others are here to stay for the winter.
Elderberries are already ripening and birds are on the move, foraging for food, and in some cases heading south. It's a time of change in the Fen, with plenty to watch out for day and night…
Goats, tigers and elephants roam the Great Fen, but you might need a night-time visit for the best chance to encounter them.
More and more warblers are in song, and now that lady’s smock is in flower, there is something special to listen out for. From corn buntings to cuckoos, the Fen is stirring.
Amidst the changeable weather, signs of spring are peaking through. Keep your eyes and ears open.
Look to the skies and keep your ears open, as you never know what might be flying over.
