The Wired Hide
Its name is reference to the electrical installation in this hide. Huge mirrored glass panes give excellent views out to the visiting wildlife without the need to squint through scrim netting. This hides main application is for owl sessions after dark however at some times of the year we use it for species such as Kestrel, Buzzard, Weasel/Stoat & Fox.

This hide is never sold species specific. Generally photographers spending the most part of the night in this hide will achieve images of both species of owl but as these birds are completely wild we can never fully guarantee which will show on any given night.
