Last Saturday was International Bat Night and so, once again, volunteers and staff from the Wildlife Trust guided the public on a bat survey of Woodwalton Fen National Nature Reserve.

While the Fen is relatively quiet at this time of year, there is still plenty around.

40 Whooper Swan have been seen up at Rymes Reedbed, sometimes visible from Trundle Mere Lookout, feeding in the fields to the north, near Farcet, in the company of Mute Swan.
