The Cambridge Evening News has published a Hen Harrier image taken at Wicken Fen on the 8th of March 2011 as part of an article about these rare birds of prey in the edition published on 4th of February 2012.
Hen Harriers have been roosting on Wicken's Sedge Fen for many years during the winter months. They come in to roost just as it is starting to get dark and leave again shortly before the sun rises. At least 6 have been seen there this winter, including a male.

The blog of the Wicken Fen Vision Warden has featured links of images of Short Eared, Little and Barn Owls taken by Richard Nicoll.
See: http://wickenvision.blogspot.com/
The Short Eared Owls have just arrived having presumably migrated from the continent. They have been interacting with the resident Kestrels with some spectacular aerial displays. Well worth a visit.
