Hi all. We have made the decision to close the reserve to visitors for the rest of today (25/9/20) due to very high winds making the footpaths unsafe due to a risk of falling trees/branches. Stay safe! RSPB Birders RSPB England RSPB Lakenheath Fen RSPB

Today is the day that Joist Fen viewpoint gets its own makeover- a new roof- timber and felt instead of reed thatch. There will be some humans on the roof until early afternoon today, but the work shouldn't be too noisy! @rspbbirders @rspbengland RSPB RSPB Lakenheath Fen

So what's been happening at the reserve you ask? What hasn't been happening! We've had all sorts... waders, hirundines, butterflies and some pretty flowering plants to decorate the paths too. Read all about it here: bit.ly/ReserveUpdate0…

Here's our latest blog: bit.ly/ReserveUpdate0… The reserve is heaving with lots of spring migrants, passage waders, birds of prey and more... we've had a very exciting couple of weeks. Hope to see you soon for a visit!

Hobby numbers are peaking across the reserve at the moment and yesterday's work party saw at least fifty... visiting on a warm and sunny day will give you the best chance of seeing them! Photo credit: Tim James

Great white egret on the visitor centre pool this afternoon, didn’t even need to leave the office to see it! #officetick

Our most up-to-date sightings for anyone planning a visit to see us today, or soon. And a reminder that tomorrow the Visitor Centre and toilets will be closed for the day- please see our pinned post for more info. 😊

We would like to make visitors aware that on Thursday 13 October, the work party will be at Mere Hide, strimming areas of reedbed. This work will be noisy and will cause temporary disruption to the wildlife there, but it is essential for reedbed and wildlife management. Thanks!

This Clifden Nonpareil was a nice surprise in the trap this morning. Great way to start the day RSPB Lakenheath Fen
