BBC Radio 4 - Ramblings, Wicken Fen with Ajay Tegala

Clare Balding joins National Trust warden Ajay Tegala on a walk around Wicken Fen.

On a beautiful clear winter's day Clare visits the Cambridgeshire fenland.

Starting by the village of Burwell Clare and Ajay set off around Wicken Fen.  As part of its rewilding vision the National Trust have created wetlands for birds and introduced Highland cattle and Konik ponies to graze the grassland.  Ajay Tegala is a warden with the Trust and takes people on guided walks around the fen.  He has also done some work with the BBC Natural History Unit and has featured in Springwatch.  It's a perfect bright January morning as they set off on the paths around the fen spotting birds and animals along the way.
