New and Improved Boughton Fen

Made it to Boughton Fen on Fri, and again yesterday, having spotted the new boardwalk a few days ago. Great new circular trail there now, around the perimeter and then back along the side of the Cut. Willow warbler, chiffchaff and blackcaps all in good voice, plus a Cetti's on Fri and 3 marsh harriers (1m, 2f) and 3 buzzards! Three marsh harriers again on Sat. Heard a cuckoo today, 1st of the year, distantly from the garden, and flushed a little owl from a tree along the Gadder - the closest yet to the house!
