I don't often see Pied Flycatcher in the Abberton area, in fact I don't remember the last one I saw there. So seeing one at Wigborough Church today was great - and there were 4 Spot Flies too! #essexbirding

Slightly surreal watching this Black Tern at Abberton Reservoir whilst a few feet away a posse of noisy motorbikes were zooming back and forth along the causeway. To say they were speeding would be an understatement.
A cracking bird though
