Description
Lakenheath Fen has attracted kaulushaikara, käki and large numbers of nuolihaukka, in addition to various warblers, tits and waterfowl. It's a feasible destination for birders whose primary target is north Norfolk.

Access
There is an entry charge, but RSPB members are exempt. Access is on foot: the paths can be muddy and not always suitable for wheelchairs. Dogs are restricted to public rights of way on the edges of the reserve.
Buses between Thetford and Brandon (routes 200/201) stop about two miles away; there is a train station (Lakenheath) about half a mile from the reserve's vistor centre, but services are infrequent. There is a reserve car and coach park. The postcode is IP27 9AD.
