Just found a pr of Shelduck with 7 ducklings on #FarcetFen. First ever breeding record here and s complete surprise cos this is the first I’ve seen here this year! Must have bred along a 1 mile stretch of drain I can’t get to. #TheFens #fens

Let’s get figgy with it! Our fig survived its first winter planted out (wrapped up n fleece) just fine and is now thriving and with plenty of fruit for us to enjoy later in the summer #FarcetFen #garden #fens #thefens

Young Mistle Thrush in field by the house this evening. You can hear the adult calling from our garden behind me and the young replying. Feeding on its own o food being provided by the parents #birds #thefens #fens #FarcetFen

They’ve been working the field by the house on #FarcetFen and this evening it’s full of #birds inc a family of Mistle Thrushes and this smart male Yellowhammer #thefens #fens

Late morning #Blackbush 7 Wheatear, 1 Whinchat, 3 Yellow Wags. #FarcetFen 4 Wheatear, 1 Grasshopper Warbler, 2 Yellow Wags. I checked all suitable dot fields out here. Some looking quite tasty inc. the ‘traditional’ Blackbush field #rbnCAM

Take 2! Despite it still being blowy, once the rain stopped this pm I was back out running around #TheFens with limited success. #NeneWashes looking splendid in the evenjng sun, highlight a Hobby. 3 Wheatears on #Blackbush and 2 on #FarcetFen #rbnCAM #fens
