Abberton Resevoir.

Call in for a short while was good for birding from Layer Church car park. But overall there are the signs of movement for early autumn with seemingly gathering numbers of COOT, SHOVELORE, and GADWALL. There were also some late moving Hirundinidae with SWALLOW, SAND MARTIN, HOUSE MARTIN. But with over 30 LITTLE EGERET it was just good to see big brother with a GREAT WHITE EGERET on show. It was also good to pick up on three BLACK NECKED GREBE and a single SPOONBILL. Which was standing at rest in the open. Also on the wader front was at least 3 GREENSHANK, RUFF coming in at 4 and BLACK TAILED GODWIT around 15 birds. I only heard one CHIFF calling and two PIED WAGTAIL.
