Returned to Burwell Fen having been away walking in the Picos De Europa. We did a number of walks and enjoyed a great deal of spectacular landscape. The weather was good with just one day of constant rain, and was great for walking. There was a lot of steep climbs and sharp descents but the great joy was walking through woodlands and meadows.
The bird life was good with lots of Griffon Vultures, Booted Eagles and the greatest pleasure was sitting on the terrace with a beer watching two Golden Eagles circle over head. The next morning to top it was a Wryneck in the garden opposite. A new addition to my list was a resident Middle Spotted Woodpecker in the woods in front of the cottage we were staying in.

| Panoramic view from the top of Fuente De Back to Burwell Fen and sadly little to report! Two Stonechat along the side of the path and a small flock of nine Ruff on the flooded area. A small flock of Swallows passed through, will these be the last of the summer? |
