Travel by proxy. Interesting to explore a completely different landscape.

It is such a fabulous reserve. And I only saw one small part of it. I'd love to go back one day and do some of the longer walks.

Lovely photos from your walk. It's good that the fen was saved.

Thank you!

It's wonderful that Wicken Fen survived. But it's only when you look at the reserve on the map that you realise what a tiny, tiny island of nature it is in a huge landscape of industrial agriculture. So much has been lost...

I love the color and precision in those closeups.

Thank you!

It is such a fabulous place for insect photography, incredibly rich in species.

So many dragonflies! You can imagine how happy I was.

I miss Wicken Fen. We used to go there a lot when we lived in Cambridge.

I absolutely loved Wicken Fen. We do have reedbeds round here, but they have nothing like the variety of bird and insect life of Wicken Fen.
