I'm Charlotte Bradley. I have worked for Essex Wildlife Trust for 11 Years as Ranger at Abberton Reservoir Nature Reserve. I manage the enhancement of reserve habitats, species protection and visitor engagement and some work around the reservoir.

Lots of butterflies, bees and other insects to be seen around Abberton Reserve at the moment especially on the wildflower areas and woodland edges.
Andrew Thompson found this great male Ichneumon fly on the wildflowers on the reserve.
