A Fascinating Hornet Encounter at Warnham Local Nature Reserve

On 31st August 2025, I had an incredible wildlife encounter at Warnham Local Nature Reserve. While exploring the reserve, I stumbled upon a hornet nest tucked away inside a tree. I was fortunate enough to capture the moment when the hornets were leaving the nest — a rare glimpse into their busy daily activity.

Observing this scene was a reminder of how much life is happening around us if we just take the time to pause and look closely. Warnham Local Nature Reserve never fails to surprise, offering endless opportunities to witness nature’s subtle wonders. Every visit brings something new to discover, whether it’s birds, insects, or other hidden treasures within this beautiful natural space.
