A Wildlife Watch Day took place at the Paxton Pits Nature Reserve in Little Paxton on New Year's Day.
The event was organised by the Friends of Paxton Pits and was supported by Huntingdonshire District Council.
Volunteers led guided walks and the nature reserve's Visitors Centre was open for refreshments and the sale of second-hand nature books.
The event was co-ordinated by long-time volunteer Trevor Gunton who is a founding Trustee of the Friends of Paxton Pits.

Mr Stevenson briefed those taking part before the walk.
Paxton Pits Nature Reserve is a rich mosaic of wildlife habitats, with beautiful lakes, riverside, meadow, reedbed, scrub and woodland. It is open for visitors all year round.
