Essex – Abberton – 28th December 2009

On this day the reservoir was so calm and the sun very watery indeed, making it easy to spot any bird activity in areas where the ice had melted.

From the Layer causeway there was a large collection of ducks; Pintail, Tufted, Pochard and Widgeon. Whereas from the Breton crossing there were Smew, Merganser, Whooper Swan, Mute Swan and a distant Peregrine Falcon sitting on an electricity pylon

Life bird count: 389 Year bird count: 245 Month bird count: 72
