The RPS Nature group outing to Wicken Fen was very well supported this year. The forecast rain stayed away though it was very muddy underfoot. Birds were few and far between over most of the Reserve though the Stonechats on Burwell and Bakers Fens and the Shovellers and Coots on West Mere did their best to provide some action. The most obliging was the Cormorant that had chosen a very graphic perch for its portrait. Great to see Coltsfoot flowers breaking through over many areas of the Fens.
