Fowlmere RSPB reserve, Nature reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest in Cambridgeshire, England.
The 40-hectare reserve contains reedbeds, pools sustained by natural chalk springs, and a chalk stream flowing through the protected grounds.
The site transformed from open water before 1800 to watercress cultivation in the 1890s, until the Royal Society for Protection of Birds acquired it in 1977.
The reserve functions as an educational center where visitors learn about local wildlife through guided walks and seasonal bird watching activities.
Three observation hides, a 3-kilometer circular trail, and wheelchair-accessible sections allow visitors to explore the reserve throughout the year.
Natural chalk springs feed the water system, creating specific conditions for kingfishers, water rails, and reed warblers to nest in the preserved habitat.
