Hide Rentals
We have hide up on a kestrel nest and the first week in July is going to be the best time to photograph them as they will be of an age where they are looking out to their new world most of the time. Sessions are 4hrs early morning getting the golden light or afternoon when the harsh light has passed. This hide can be combined with another of our hides if you wish to make a full day of it. Bookings being taken on email.

We have a scaffold hide up on our barn owl site where the young owlets are in their final stages of life inside the nest chamber. We are running some nocturnal sessions with them during the first 2 weeks of July. For more info and booking get in touch on email.

Swallows - High Speed Flash - AM/PM Sessions £80
We have a pair using an old ivy covered barn currently sitting eggs. Once the eggs hatch and the adults begin feeding it is not uncommon to have 60 or more passes through the aperture as they bring food into the nest giving lots of opportunity to capture the perfect shot. We supply the flashes and give tuition on their use.
We are taking bookings now from the 10th June - 28th June

We have the pair of kestrels busy feeding their brood of 5 now with them expecting to be fledged by the 7th June. After they fledge they usually spend 5 weeks around the hide feeding, preening and finding their wings which in our opinion is the best time as you get the most interaction between the birds during this period.

Pond Hide - Diving in the dark workshops - £299
A different take on a diving kingfisher image, with this setup we are using artificial light with a slow shutter speed to capture the motion in the dive with the bird still sharp. This session works best with one photographer at a time using the hide however if you are willing to take the dives from the kingfisher in turns with a photography friend of yours then it is possible to use the setup as a pair. The price is for the whole hide so the cost is split if you are coming with someone. The lighting equipment and tuition is also included.

After a very challenging winter with all the rain we have experienced we are pleased to say the hide is back open and dry again. March is the best time of the year to stand the chance of witnessing the kingfishers courtship rituals as they prepare for their first clutch. The hide is open nocturnally which concentrates on otter and grey heron. Summer bookings for a nocturnal session will most likely catch a few kingfisher visits in the early morning before the session finishes.
