Ray Mears has been exploring Strumpshaw Fen with a film crew for the past 3 days. No, he's not been sleeping in the woods or foraging for wild food, just enthusing about the fantastic wildlife that can be found here.
They encountered bitterns, swallowtails, water rails, chinese water deer, barn owls and loads more.
Look out for the footage on "Wild Britain" which is due to be screened on UKTV Eden channel in the autumn.
