But despite the dire subaqua state of Stringside Stream/Lode Dike, when the water is clear, the spring sun shines bright from a blue sky & there's a Reed Warbler soundtrack, it is hard not to emerge from such a #Norfolk #chalkstream without your spirits raised. #BoughtonFen #Norfolkbirding 10/10

Suppose it was only a matter of time before I found human remains... Still, quite a shock when swimming up Lode Dike at Boughton Fen, alone on a sultry evening to come across a skull on the silty river bed #MySwim #BoughtonFen #Boughton #Oxborough #WestNorfolk #Norfolk #skull 1/5

My progress around the well kempt paths at #BoughtonFen was surveyed by a gorgeous Marsh Harrier pair, riding the breeze.
Greylags were less tranquil residents to share the place with.

Congratulations to the #BoughtonFen team for some great management and a delightful wildlife walk (with plenty of welcome seating!). Orange tips and Hedge Mustard galore, and a Holly Blue.
