LITTLE ones joined forces with their parents for some half-term fun.
Dozens of children took part in Essex Wildlife Trust’s pond-dipping session at Abberton Reservoir.
The afternoon event saw families scour the marshes in a bid to find and inspect creepy crawlies at close range.
It was one of several events organised by the wildlife trust during the school half-term holidays.
A trust spokesman said: “We organise a great deal of events but of course we do more in times when the schools are off.
“There is always something on offer.”
