	Essex Wildlife Trust nature reserve: Abberton (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		The reservoir is situated close to east coast migration routes and, with its surrounding envelope of pasture and tree plantations, is a welcome sight to tired birds.
		This attracts large numbers of passage waders such as ruff and spotted redshank to the reservoir from the coast, further confirmation of the great value of the site to birds.
		It was created in 1975 with the advice of Sir Peter Scott, when a large pond was excavated close to the reservoir and a wide range of native tree and shrub species of value to wildlife were planted.

		The Reservoir was authorised by an Act of Parliament, in 1935, which gave the Company power to acquire the land and easements for pipes conveying water, and the construction of the treatment works at Layer de la Haye, together with other pumping facilities.
		An aqueduct brings the water down to the Abberton end where an earth dam, with a centre core of puddled clay, was built to retain the water.
		The reservoir is only accessible to permit holders the number of which is restricted on grounds of safety and because it is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Protection Area and has been designated as of International Importance by the EC.

		After lunch, we moved on to Abberton Reservoir and first visited a number of the hides on the reserve.
		Half a dozen common sandpipers could be seen from the Scott Hide, feeding along the base of the reservoir wall, along with a couple of yellow wagtails among the more numerous pieds.
		There were still plenty of swallows and house and sand martins over the reservoir, but the presence of two female goldeneyes was a reminder of winter approaching.

		So far Abberton colour-ringed birds have been found nesting in 7 other UK tree-nesting colonies plus one in Belgium and 2 in The Netherlands.
		Recently a colour-ringed bird from Abberton was seen in The Netherlands and reported as a carbo.
		Although this bird may have been morphologically identifiable it is very unlikely that it was genetically all carbo.

		This scheme will involve raising the top water level of Abberton reservoir to increase its storage capacity by 60% and obtaining the additional water to fill the raised reservoir by varying the amount of water the company is allowed to abstract at Denver and Blackdyke (in Norfolk).
		The third part of the project is the transfer of this water into Abberton reservoir, through new pipelines.
		We believe we have already demonstrated that the Abberton scheme is the right plan which, in both environmental and cost terms, will be far more positive than creating a brand new reservoir.

		For some months now I have been liaising with Jo Calvert, Senior Warden at the Essex Wildlife Trust’s reserve at Abberton Reservoir, Essex to improve access to the Roy King Hide.
		The viewing slot adapted for wheelchair viewing was well sited and a good view of a large part of the reservoir was possible.
		Although I was able to bird watch well from my position it was slightly restrictive and uncomfortable viewing because some knee space is required.

		Although some water comes from the dammed Layer Brook, the majority is extracted from the river Stour and pumped 18 km to Abberton.
		Vegetation Most of the reservoir margin is lined by concrete but the section lying to the south-west of the B1026 road is fringed by a band of vegetation consisting of great reedmace Typha latifolia, reed canary grass Phalaris arundinacea and various rushes Juncus spp.
		Fauna The reservoir is of outstanding importance as an autumn arrival point for very large numbers of migrants, and as a wintering ground for a large and varied population of dabbling and diving ducks.

		The overall aim of the Abberton Scheme is to enlarge the capacity of the reservoir by 60%, and to provide enough water to fill it for future customer supply.
		During the early stages of investigation through the late 1980s and 1990s, the company considered 250 potential sites for a new reservoir to be built.
		Following extensive engineering and environmental investigations, increasing the storage volume of Abberton Reservoir was identified as the preferred option.

		Zooplankton are the foundation of the food web within the reservoir, and are essential in maintaining the ecology of the area, with many fish and other species relying on them, directly and indirectly, for survival.
		James attempted to reconstruct the history of the fish in the reservoir and found, for example, that between 1980 and 1987 the reservoir supported commercial eel trapping.
		He is now in the upper sixth and is studying Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths and Further Maths and wants to go to university to study a chemistry related degree.
