What a visit! Fowlmere is a wonderful reserve and it's great to hear of your sightings.
Come again soon!

Visited Fowlmere on a couple of occasions while at Duxford for the weekend, great place and plenty to see if you're patient. Had the good luck to photograph the Marsh Harriers, and my first shots of Hobbies.
cheers Terry

Sounds great. Must visit late evening myself and take a look
Wow, where did you see the Marsh Harriers and Hobbies? Was it from the Reed Bed hide? What's the best time of day to see them? Never seen either and would dearly love to.
In reply to Jolly Jules:
Hi Jules,
Yes the reed bed hide is probably the most reliable spot, but like all wildlife nothing can be guaranteed. If visiting at the weekend, our volunteers will be happy to give you the most recent sightings.
Good luck in seeing both of these species!
Hi Jules I've also sent Terry a message to get back to you but Mark will probably know better than anyone.

I'm not sure which Alan this is, are you getting your reserves mixed up?
In reply to Doug R:
should have added, I don't know any Terrys here at Fowlmere.
