Essex

Little Owl Athene noctua ©Nigel Blake Website

The Essex recording area (areas 18 & 19 in the Watsonian system) is co-terminus with the ceremonial county of the same name. Essex is a large county in the east of England, one of the so-called ‘home counties’. It is bordered by Cambridgeshire and Suffolk to the north, the North Sea to the east, Kent across the Thames Estuary to the south, Greater London to the southwest, and Hertfordshire to the west. The largest settlement is Southend-on-Sea, followed by Basildon, Colchester and Chelmsford, the county town. The county has an area of c.3,700 km2 (1,400 square miles) and a population approaching two million people. The south of the county, particularly as it gets closer to London, is very densely populated, and the remainder (besides Colchester and Chelmsford) is largely rural. The county historically included north-east Greater London, the River Lea forming its western border.

Essex is a low-lying county with a flat coastline. It contains pockets of ancient woodland, including Epping Forest in the south-west, and in the north-east shares Dedham Vale area of outstanding natural beauty with Suffolk. The coast is one of the longest of any English county, at 562 miles (905km). It is deeply indented by estuaries, the largest being those of the Stour, which forms the Suffolk border, the Colne, Blackwater, Crouch, and the Thames in the south. Parts of the coast are wetland and salt marsh, including a large expanse at Hamford Water, and it contains several large beaches

Birding Essex

Essex has a great variety of birding habitats, from the mud flats & sea-watching of the north Thames, many scattered woodlands, an area of chalk-land in the extreme northwest, large reservoirs, coastal salt-marsh to last, but not least, vast arable fields that, surprisingly in some areas, still support large numbers of Corn Buntings.

Being heavily populated means that a lot of public areas are intensively used by the public, which in turn means early mornings are often necessary for Essex birders days in the field.

There are many excellent local nature reserves (see below); which cater for a good range of birds & general wildlife.

Estuaries, Salt Marsh & Grazing Marshes Essex is a county with many good examples of this sort of habitat, having as it does an indented & eroded coastline. Places worth a visit are the Blackwater estuary and Stour estuary including: Tollesbury Wick, Old Hall Marshes RSPB, Copperas Bay RSPB Reserve, Hamford Water, Rainham Marsh, Aveley Bay, Havengore Creek, Reeveshall Marsh, and Fingringhoe Wick (the scrub areas of the latter is especially good for Nightingales in early May).

Farmland, Lakes & Woodland Farmland in Essex is very intense but some areas still hold good numbers of Corn Bunting, Yellowhammer etc. Good areas are the Dengie Peninsular, which runs north south from Bradwell in the north to Holliwell point in the south. It is short on both woodland and lakes but there are some good examples, such as: Amwell Lakes, Berwick Ponds, Connaught Water, Dagenham Chase, Danbury Lakes CP, Gunners Park, and Hainault Forest.

Reservoirs There are many good reservoirs to choose from each with their own character, including: Abberton (with breeding Spoonbills) and Hanningfield. The Lea Valley reservoirs are mostly permit access only & stretch from Walthamstow (Greater London) in the south to Hoddesdon (Hertfordshire) in the north. The best area is around Fishers Green.

Migration points The best-known migration area has to be the Naze, which is the point of land NE of Walton-on-the-Naze. Its huge area of bushes with a scattering of Sycamores provides ideal habitat for tired migrants, but it can be frustrating to try & find birds or re-find them. It has had many rarities in its time the most well attended twitch was the Red-throated Thrush the first for Britain, which stayed for some time around the outskirts of the town.

Sea-watching The place to sea-watch in Essex is the Thames estuary, Specifically: Southend Pier and Wakering Stairs.
