Description

Wilbraham Fens is a 62.5 hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest east of Cambridge. This is an example of a fen habitat, which is now rare in Britain, with grassland, scrub, ponds and ditches. Wilbraham Fens support nationally-important populations of breeding birds. Τσιφτάς also roost in large numbers in winter.

The adjoining Teversham fen offers a chance to see a range of waders and waterfowl, especially in Spring. Wilbraham Common offers a chance to encounter spring migrants, such as Σταχτοπετρόκλης and breeding birds like Καμπίσια Πέρδικα.
