Wicken Fen Walk (with Correction)

Last Sunday I took a trip to Wicken Fen and met up with members of the Cambridge Camera Club and the RPS Nature Group. It was an early start we met at the entrance at 8:30. The idea was to walk down the river and hope to see Marsh Harriers and Hen Harriers. Unfortunately we did not. I did manage to see a Female Kestrel on a tree in the distance (see photo below). I also saw Mute Swans and a Cormorant.

I spent a time across the river from the Konic Ponies. Lovely horses. According to Wikipedia ....

The Konik or Polish primitive horse is a small, semi-feral horse, originating in Poland. The Polish word konik is the diminutive of koń, the Polish word for "horse".

A good day out. I left mid afternoon but stalwarts of the group stayed on to dusk and managed to see some Barn Owls flying. You can see some images by clicking on ....
