Peaceful Moments at Warnham

There’s something special about arriving at Warnham Local Nature Reserve early in the morning. The air is still, the light is soft, and the wildlife is just beginning to stir. On the 29th of April, I was treated to one of those quietly magical starts to the day.

Above me, a Buzzard circled effortlessly against a clear blue sky—a powerful yet graceful silhouette gliding on the morning thermals. Down at ground level, a Roe Deer moved gently through the tall grasses, barely making a sound. These moments, though fleeting, are always humbling to witness.

As the sun climbed higher, its light began to backlight the smaller subjects. I managed to capture a Daddy Longlegs delicately lit by the low sun, its fine legs glowing in the golden hour glow—a reminder that beauty often lies in the smallest details.

To round off the visit, an Egyptian Goose made a brief appearance—always a welcome sight and a nice bonus to an already rewarding morning.

All of this in just a short visit. That’s the wonder of nature—there’s always something new to see if you take the time to look.
