Dragons and Dipping

Pond dipping at Wicken Fen, but with a twist and for slightly older children and families!

As well as delving into the pond, we'll be going for a short guided walk, to search for dragonflies (and damselflies) on the wing. Plus a chance to listen underwater, using a hydrophone.
