Favourite find of the day at Holme Fen NNR - a perfect clump of Drumsticks Aulacomnium androgynum, a #moss named after its stalked balls of gemmae, which break off and grow into new plants. Taken on a quick walk before meeting up with #GreatFen volunteers for mince pies!

Glorious frosty walk in the #Fens. Crease Bank looking north to King's Dyke brick yard chimneys and McCains, South intensive agriculture, but this is an industrial landscape transitioning back to nature. Closed brick pits can give way to rich habitat, and south is the #GreatFen project

I've been visiting the #GreatFen project and its great reserves of peat - a carbon-storing, flood-preventing super substance that is burning a few kilometres away from this idyllic spot, spewing carbon into the atmosphere. Re-wetting this crucial ecosystem is a key part of #climate mitigation.

Watch out for #Fen tigers on the prowl in the sunshine at the #GreatFen. #ScareChaser #dragonflies are stunning when newly emerged from the water. It's an orange coloration the adult female #insect retains, while the male turns blue! Learn more with me next month. www.wildlifebcn.org/events/2025-...

Sadly #wildfires are ripping across Europe this summer. I filmed this as one tore through #England's #GreatFen, one of the continent's last wild #wetlands. Kilometres away, untouched, part of the restoration project shows the way back: re-wet the land, and a carbon bomb becomes a carbon sink again.

Some of the 14x #GreatSilverWaterBeetles recorded today as part of our #GreatFen #moth and water #beetle #monitoring. They were attracted to the light traps at 5 sites in the Fen. Now they are all headed back to where they were caught.

Looking for Water Voles: A Day with the Monitoring and Research Team at Great Fen
On a misty day in the middle of October I was lucky to be able to spend the day with Henry who is the Wildlife Trust BCN’s Monitoring and Research Officer based at the Great Fen. The Great Fen is large expanse of fenland being restored, it includes three Nature Reserves (Holme Fen, Woodwalton Fen and Ramsey Heights) and several farms, some still being worked and some being returned to a more natural state.We met up with Henry in the morning on one of these farms and headed out to undertake a wat

Took today day off work and spent the morning at Woodwalton Fen @greatfen- such a special place. The whole place was pulsating with dragonflies- including good numbers of Scarce Chaser- plus damselflies and demoiselles beyond counting

What can I say about @KParsons_Art I haven’t said many times before? I love how different artists see and interpret things. Her ‘found treasure’ creations are just wonderful and heart warming. This one is titled ‘Whittlesey Mere’ - where we live near the @greatfen in the #fens

Success! Pair of Stonechats in NW Cambs have raised 3 young again this year. A recent colonist of the county, with up to 8 pairs in county by 2021 (probably a few more in 2022). I’ve come across 3 pairs this spring already @CambsBirdClub @greatfen
