Descrizione
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 Airone cenerino with their thriving heronry and woodpeckers, are recorded annually. The Martin pescatore is to be seen most days and is joined by Sterna comune in the summer which come to breed on the millpond. The reedbed offers a breeding site for Cannaiola, Migliarino di palude, Porciglione and even Tarabuso in the coldest of winters. Around the woodland rides many summer visitors such as Beccafico, Capinera and Sterpazzola stay to breed.
The edges of the Millpond are very attractive to migrant wading birds and Piro piro piccolo, Piro piro culbianco and Beccaccino are often seen. Chiurlo maggiore, Avocetta, Frullino and Pantana 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.
