Descrição

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 Piadeira and other common ducks. The area is regularly visited by Cisne-bravo and the occasional Cisne-pequeno. Coruja-do-nabal can be seen hunting over the area.

During spring and autumn the Fen attracts passing waders and in the summer the Fen call of rouxinol-dos-caniços and Felosa-dos-juncos and the reeling of Felosa-malhada can be heard.

Throughout the year Tartaranhão-ruivo-dos-pauis can be seen quartering the fen and these are joined by Tartaranhão-azulado in the winter.

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