Beschrijving
Warnham Local Nature Reserve is a haven for wildlife just a 30-minute walk from Horsham town centre. The varied mix of habitats proves a haven for wildlife. Over 400 species of plants have been found, from Common Bird’s-foot Trefoil to Orchids, as well as many different fungi. Over 100 species of bird, including the Blauwe Reiger with their thriving heronry and woodpeckers, are recorded annually. The IJsvogel is to be seen most days and is joined by Visdief in the summer which come to breed on the millpond. The reedbed offers a breeding site for Kleine Karekiet, Rietgors, Waterral and even Roerdomp in the coldest of winters. Around the woodland rides many summer visitors such as Tuinfluiter, Zwartkop and Grasmus stay to breed.
The edges of the Millpond are very attractive to migrant wading birds and Oeverloper, Witgat and Watersnip are often seen. Wulp, Kluut, Bokje and Groenpootruiter are scarcer but regular visitors during spring and autumn passage. The reserve has bird hides overlooking a 17-acre millpond, walking trails through meadows and woodland, boardwalks over the marshy grassland and a woodpecker hide.
