Abberton Resevoir, Essex.

Walk round the major hides on a bright and sunny day. That is what summer is all about.

It was good to see a juvenile LITTLE RINGED PLOVER being encouraged by its parent. Obviously now in flight. OYSTERCATCHER 2 and many COMMON WHITETHROAT and 2 calling CORN BUNTINGS and 3 REED BUNTING. 60 CORMORANT at rest on promontory, MALLARD, LITTLE EGERET, COMMON TERN and a just showing GREY WAGTAIL on the inlet with a GREY HERON.  SKYLARK, HERRING GULL, L-B-B-GULL, WREN and several young PIED WAGATIL flitting across the shore line.
But also good to see BLACK TAILED SKIMMER and COMMON DARTER.
