Insects are the particular focus for us, in the coming months, so please let us have your sightings from the Great Fen, via this contact details on this page.
Tigers are on the prowl in the Great Fen and dragons emerge from their watery lairs.
Wheatears are running along the tracks, swallows are skimming along the dykes, and cuckoos are calling from the treetops.
As the temperature goes up and down, and the water thaws and refreezes, our wildlife responds; another aspect of the changing face of the Great Fen.
Winter thrushes are out and about but we still have dragonflies on the wing, and other predators have arrived to take refuge in the Great Fen.
The changeable weather, and the seasonal wildlife movements at this time or year, have provided challenges and opportunities for the wildlife watchers this summer.
