The Floating Hide

We designed this hide more like a boat than the conventional floating hide that requires waders. Its design is compact and so may not suit everyone however with a little practice and patience this hide is quite the experience shooting at water level choosing your own background and angle. We are currently working on a mark 2 which will be larger and more comfortable.

This hide is moored on a lake where a pair of great crested grebes reside. There will be other wildlife using the lake for you to photograph too.

Hide Rules

• If you need to leave the hide for any reason please phone ahead and someone will come and escort you. This is done to protect the hide from irreparable damage that can happen should the wildlife see you leave
• Some of our hides are on a privately owned lake complex. Please do not leave the hide during your session and wander around as it is part of the agreement from the land owners that all guest will be escorted on and off the site
• Our other hides are on pasture and livestock graze the fields. We cannot stress enough how important it is to shut gates behind you and check that they have latched shut
• Please don’t leave the hide during the session and change the setup - phone ahead and we will come and help should there be a problem
• Please leave the hide as you found it and take all litter home with you.
