Many different 'communities' have an interest in the Great Fen, and liaising with them is an important part of wildlife conservation.
An unexpected arrival takes us in search of stonechats on another Wildlife Trust reserve.
Restoration work is attracting more wildlife, especially our winter visitors, and our volunteers have been busy preparing the breeding ponds at Ramsey Heights, for some amorous amphibians!

It's 50 years since the international designation of important wetlands began, and what a year to highlight their contribution to the quantity and quality of freshwater on our planet!
Stonechats were up on the higher ground, relatively speaking, during the Christmas floods, but life goes on during lockdown.
The story of our research into stonechat movements, within and beyond the Great Fen, continues.
As part of our research into stonechat movements within and beyond the Great Fen, we will be posting periodic blogs about this project.
