Labels:animal | text | bird | owl | beak | bird of prey OCR: Litter Fields There are a number of litter fields at Wicken They are in areas where there is little sedge and carr and are made up of grasses which have traditionally been cut for hay and for floor covering. The litter fields contain many species of plants and are a good habitat for Insects. Plants include meadowsweet, marsh thistle, comfrey, meadow rue, rush, marsh pennywort, marsh fern, and other plants which like damp ground. Birds, such as harriers and owls, hunt small mammals, such as shrews, across these areas while the snipe needs the litter fields to nest in. K>
