Abberton Reservoir Visitor Centre

A huge expanse of Essex & Suffolk Waters, Abberton Reservoir is one of Europe's top wetland sites. It is of international importance as a safe haven for wild ducks, swans and other water birds, whether resident, passing through on migration or over-wintering. It lies close to east-coast migration routes and, with its surrounding envelope of pasture and tree plantations, is a welcome sight to tired birds. An unusual sight in spring is Cormorants nesting in trees, one of the few places in Britain where they do this.
