Please help

Can anyone id these feathers found at Wicken Fen

thank you 

  • I'm sorry I can't help with the ID request, so hopefully my response might find someone who has an idea, or even knows. Wicken Fen, not somewhere I'm familiar with, so to help those not familiar, could you describe the surroundings, wooded area, open grassland, waterside etc?

    I will say it is a brilliant idea to use something people can relate to  for size comparison. So often we lack that vital assistance. Fingers crossed you get an answer.

  • Hi Mike, thank you for your help, Wicken Fen is a wetland nature reserve in Ely, Cambs
    “ Wicken Fen, one of Europe's most important wetlands, supports an abundance of wildlife. There are more than 9000 species, including a spectacular array of plants, birds and dragonflies.
    The raised boardwalk and lush grass droves allow easy access to a lost landscape of flowering meadows, sedge and reedbeds, where you can encounter rarities such as hen harriers, water voles and bitterns”
    I’m really hoping somebody can id the feathers for me
    Thanks again

    You're welcome.

  • Hi Nicola,   here's a LINK to a good website for IDing feathers;   I would check out Tawny Owl for this one although I'm not an expert on feather ID.
