Descripción

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 Silbón Europeo and other common ducks. The area is regularly visited by Cisne Cantor and the occasional Cisne Chico. Búho Campestre can be seen hunting over the area.

During spring and autumn the Fen attracts passing waders and in the summer the Fen call of Carricero Común and Carricerín Común and the reeling of Buscarla Pintoja can be heard.

Throughout the year Aguilucho Lagunero Occidental can be seen quartering the fen and these are joined by Aguilucho pálido in the winter.

Burwell Fen and Wicken Fen are also famous for the rich and diverse insect and butterfly life.
