Wildlife experts have started tracking European wigeons to better understand their behaviour.

The birds, which are a breed of duck, were tagged with rings at Abberton Reservoir, near Colchester, so their movement could be traced.

Researchers want to determine how wildlife use the landscapes around them for feeding, roosting and escaping threats.
