A Lively Encounter with a Coal Tit at Warnham Local Nature Reserve

On a crisp winter morning, I spent some time exploring one of my favourite photography spots—Warnham Local Nature Reserve. It's a place I often return to, not just for the tranquil atmosphere, but for the incredible variety of wildlife it offers throughout the year.

During this visit, I had the pleasure of photographing a particularly energetic little bird: the Coal Tit. These tiny songbirds may be small in size, but they’re full of personality. Constantly flitting from branch to branch, Coal Tits are rarely still for long, which makes capturing them on camera a fun (and often frustrating!) challenge. But that’s what makes wildlife photography so rewarding—those fleeting moments of connection with nature that can be frozen in time with the press of a shutter.

I’ve included a few of my favourite shots from the session. As always, I’d love to hear what you think—feel free to leave a comment or share your own experiences with Coal Tits or visits to Warnham.

Thanks for stopping by!
