Beschrijving
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 Smient and other common ducks. The area is regularly visited by Wilde Zwaan and the occasional Kleine Zwaan. Velduil can be seen hunting over the area.
During spring and autumn the Fen attracts passing waders and in the summer the Fen call of Kleine Karekiet and Rietzanger and the reeling of Sprinkhaanzanger can be heard.
Throughout the year Bruine Kiekendief can be seen quartering the fen and these are joined by Blauwe Kiekendief in the winter.
Burwell Fen and Wicken Fen are also famous for the rich and diverse insect and butterfly life.
