Springtime at Warnham: Greylag Goose Goslings on the Move

On a visit to Warnham Local Nature Reserve on the 26th of April, I was lucky enough to witness one of those gentle, heartwarming moments that make spring so special. A group of Greylag Goose goslings were out exploring the grassy edges of the reserve, huddled close to the watchful adults as they took tentative steps into the big wide world.

There’s something incredibly charming about seeing these fluffy young birds wobble through their surroundings—curious yet cautious, often glancing upward as if trying to make sense of the world. Their innocence and the protective presence of their parents made the scene feel timeless, a perfect slice of spring in motion.

It’s encounters like these that make this season such a joy for wildlife lovers and photographers alike. From new life emerging to nature bursting into colour, spring truly offers moments that stay with you.
