These are the adorable new calves Wicken Fen, Bean (black) and camera-shy Radish (red). We challenge you not to get squishy over them.
Very good to see further investment into the inspiring efforts of National Trust at Wicken Fen in Cambridgeshire, including via a £1.3 million grant from Natural England. Nature recovery at scale, with impressive results already achieved, & more to come. itv.com/news/anglia/20…
Happy 125th anniversary Wicken Fen!
This famous nature reserve was just a two-acre fragment of land when the Trust bought it for £10 in 1899. It is now 2,000 acres with over 9,000 species recorded – a wonderful example of what can happen when we give nature space to breathe.
Some Monday Moo-tivation 😜 Introducing two of our new calves: Bean (black) and Radish (red) #MondayMotivation
