A Day Immersed in Nature at Warnham Local Nature Reserve

On the 22nd of June, I was lucky enough to spend some time at Warnham Nature Reserve, where I spotted one of my favourite visitors—the elegant Little Egret. These striking birds are always a delight to watch, with their slender white plumage, long black legs, and contrasting yellow feet.

What fascinates me most about Little Egrets is their hunting style. They move slowly and deliberately through the shallows, pausing with such patience before making a precise strike at fish or invertebrates. Watching them in action feels like witnessing a perfectly choreographed performance—every step measured, every movement graceful.

Photographing this egret was a real pleasure. The light on the water highlighted its feathers beautifully, and the reflections added extra character to the shots. I captured a series of images that really showcase the bird’s elegance and its natural behaviour.

I’d love to hear your thoughts—which image speaks to you the most? Moments like these are exactly why I love wildlife photography: they remind us of the beauty that thrives in our local habitats, often just a short walk away.
