@FeignofCordor it's the finest soil known to humanity! It had rained a lot the night before, so it wasn't particularly dry. There's not much decent soil left in the fens now, so hopefully they'll let them flood again soon.
Hi, my name is, indeed, Fen Blow. I live in Kansas, where the wind blows, just a little. What a peaceful yet awesome site this video is. Thank you...Fen.
Im a Train Driver and i cross the Fens Peterborough - Cambridge alot. I counted no less than 4 Fen Blows today! In the past im lucky if i count that in a year. With Farmers losing crops to this and lack of rain. Its not going to be a good crop year :o/
Great music.. For more haunting soundscapes give Biosphere a try ;o)
@henrydify No I didn't know anyone had died. That's awful. I gave up at one point myself, as I couldn't breathe, but eventually realised I could cover my face with a scarf. I'd just gone for a walk and didn't realise how dangerous these things are.
Yeah, ive seen this quite a few times, happens when its been really dry, usually in spring or summer, in particular when seeds have just been sown. Its an economical problem, as seeds get blown away!
Thanks for your kind comments. I was actually caught in the storm and thought I was never going to make it out of there. It's the only time I've ever seen anything like this.
unbelieveable - i am from cambridge and what you have filmed is something i have never seen. i loved the crows that the mist eventualy revealed.. i will take inspiration from this
What is that ? fine rain? dust?

Just for information:
If you see a lot of crows then their probably rooks.
If you see one rook then its probably a crow!
Lovely to see this. From a St Ives bwoy.
