Tigers are on the prowl in the Great Fen and dragons emerge from their watery lairs.

Following record February rainfall in East Anglia, the water levels are high and as the temperatures are mild, wildlife at the Great Fen is taking advantage of the opportunities provided.

As the temperature goes up and down, and the water thaws and refreezes, our wildlife responds; another aspect of the changing face of the Great Fen.

Big skies and open vistas mean a good chance for mammal spotting at this time of year.

Merging natural history, ecological monitoring and wildlife conservation has provided some new 'shared' highlights at the Great Fen this summer.

As the weather warms up, there is plenty to see and hear in the Great Fen. All is ready for the very first Great Fen Eco Tour, taking place this June.

Many different 'communities' have an interest in the Great Fen, and liaising with them is an important part of wildlife conservation.

Restoration work is attracting more wildlife, especially our winter visitors, and our volunteers have been busy preparing the breeding ponds at Ramsey Heights, for some amorous amphibians!

The month of June has brought vandalised viewpoints and mournfully low moth numbers, but the Fen is still 'Great' in more ways than one.
