Winter brings large flocks of świstun and other common ducks. The area is regularly visited by łabędź krzykliwy and the occasional łabędź czarnodzioby. uszatka błotna can be seen hunting over the area.
During spring and autumn the Fen attracts passing waders and in the summer the Fen call of trzcinniczek (zwyczajny) and rokitniczka and the reeling of świerszczak can be heard.
Throughout the year błotniak stawowy can be seen quartering the fen and these are joined by błotniak zbożowy in the winter.
Burwell Fen and Wicken Fen are also famous for the rich and diverse insect and butterfly life.
