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.

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.

Spring has sprung, so there is plenty to look out for. Listen for new arrivals as we enter one of the most exciting periods in the wildlife calendar.

Blooming success on the restoration land requires a closer inspection of the flowerheads, for insects in search of nectar.

As the weather warms up, there is plenty to see and hear in the Great Fen. All is ready for the very first Great Fen Eco Tour, taking place this June.

Sarah Lambert, of the Peterborough Local Group of the Wildlife Trust BCN, looks forward to the year ahead and favourite species hoped to be found once more at Holme Fen NNR.
