For the past three decades Lakenheath Fen Nature Reserve has built a habitat for species that were once considered rare in the UK to breed and and increase in number.

The wetland reserve was created in 1995 when the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) bought the site, which at the time was mainly arable fields.

A mix of reed beds, marshes and woodlands now cover the 1,235-acre (500 hectares) reserve, which is encircled by Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk.
