During my stay in Brightlingsea during Christmas week 2023, I was lucky enough to get a lift to Abberton Reservoir nature reserve - my first and, probably, last as I can only travel by public transport.
It was a dull day and kept showering every so often. I was in a bird hide during one of the showers and was treated to distant group of Goldeneyes, plus - somewhere in the crowd - there was a female Smew!
