Photos from Wicken Fen

Went to the rather lovely Wicken Fen National Nature Reserve today. Having just moved to Cambridgeshire, Mrs Dave and I wanted to see the fens and I’m glad we went – I’m sure we’re going to go back with slightly sturdier footwear. There’s a couple of pretty easy walks – one, the boardwalk, is fully accessible, which really impressed me – but the longer one, which takes in a mere, is a bit damp and needs boots rather than shoes.

I was quite pleased with this photo of a painted lady:

Some more are over at my Facebook.

We ended up joining the National Trust, so good work by the people who look after Wicken!

    It sounds like a good place to go and the photo supports that impression.

    It’s well taken. When I try, they usually decide to move!

    Get those tough boots: it sounds well worth the expense!

    Thanks, ST. I was quite pleased with that photo – it only took about thirty frames to get it!
