A nature reserve has reported the first sightings of the year for nightingales.

The bird, which has been severely declining in population, has returned to Fingringhoe Wick Nature Discovery Park in Colchester, Essex, for the summer.

According to Essex Wildlife Trust, external, the nature park is a "stronghold" for the "iconic" species, supporting 1% of the entire UK population.

Lauren Cosson, communications manager for the trust, said the park was "extremely lucky" to have the birds return.
