Beschreibung
Burwell Fen is a mixture of open water, reedbed, hidden dykes and ditches and rough grazing land for Highland Cattle and Konik Horses.
Winter brings large flocks of Pfeifente and other common ducks. The area is regularly visited by Singschwan and the occasional Zwergschwan. Sumpfohreule can be seen hunting over the area.
During spring and autumn the Fen attracts passing waders and in the summer the Fen call of Teichrohrsänger and Schilfrohrsänger and the reeling of Feldschwirl can be heard.
Throughout the year Rohrweihe can be seen quartering the fen and these are joined by Kornweihe in the winter.
Burwell Fen and Wicken Fen are also famous for the rich and diverse insect and butterfly life.
