The Wired Hide - Tawny Owl - Nocturnal - £100

The Tawny owls at the wired hide are on fine form now with 2 pairs coming to the hide to take food back to their young. Young tawnies are cared for all summer by their parents so this peak in activity is set to last into August. The hide has been revamped last autumn with some major changes including taking a mains electrical supply over to the hide Further info on the changes here. We use constant LED lights for seeing the wildlife and focusing and flash takes over for the exposure. We supply all the lighting equipment needed for the shoot. We setup in the late afternoon and the hide is yours until 7am the following day (you can leave anytime you like). If you stay in the hide until dawn the following day you will likely see a kestrel visit before the session ends.

In July we have a specialist workshop running with the owls concentrating on images of the owls as it’s prey would see it.

Scaffold Hide - Little owls - May/June 2025

We have little owls back breeding in one of our tree boxes after a few years absent. They are currently sitting eggs but once hatched we are like to run some sessions in a similar way to how we ran them before. For the first few weeks after hatching we will run the 'Art of Flight’ workshop concentrating on using artificial light and a slower shutter speed. As the owlets get close to fledging the sessions will concentrate on images of them fledging.

If you are interested in either of these sessions then drop us a line over email to register your interest.

The Pond hide - Kingfisher, Otter & Heron - Day, Night or 24hrs - £100 - £220

We have a breeding pair of kingfishers visiting the pond which will increase activity and offer different behaviour from the birds at the hide whilst they are rearing their young throughout the summer. The hide also offers a good chance of capturing images of herons and egrets during the day and all at water level. During the night the heron is currently spending the most part of the night sitting on the pond but most interestingly not leaving when the otter visits. The heron has been seen lunging at the otter and even taking fish straight out the otters mouth. This behaviour is something we have never seen before at the hide with the 2 species. It’s sure to throw up some incredible images of the species interacting.

***New Hide*** Kestrel, Weasel & Tawny Owl - Opening soon

We have a brand new hide almost ready for launching concentrating on Kestrel and Weasel during the day and Tawny owls after dark. At the moment we are working on putting the final touches to the hide and setup but hope to be launching the hide for bookings next month. Full details will be sent through the newsletter once we feel it is ready.

180º & 90º Brown Hare hides - AM/PM/Full Days - £130 - £180

With the longer warmer days here now our hare hides will be running as AM or PM sessions starting at either first light or 4pm for the rest of the summer. The meadows the hides overlook are now in full bloom so its a great time to capture images of this enigmatic species amongst the wildflowers. The hides are all low level so offer the perfect angle to shoot from in a comfortable sitting position. This is not a situation where we are supplementary feeding to bring the hares to the hide - you are a simply a spectator to nature in this hide but with the density of hares on the site we are sure you will have encounters during your session.

Swallows - AM/PM - £80

We saw our first swallow on the 5th April this year and since then they have arrived in droves. We use artificial light for the exposure in this setup to freeze their incredible speed. More info on these sessions will be released once we get a good idea on timings this year but normally they run through the first week in June. All the lighting is supplied and tuition on its use give at the time.

Barn Owls - TBC

We have a pair of barn owls on territory at the moment at the site pictured below. If they do decide to breed there then we will be run the hide for a week when the young owlets begin to fledge. If you’re intrested then send us a email now so we can keep you informed on how things are going.

Pond Hide - Kingfisher - Diving in the dark workshops - £299

This artistic take on the kingfishers dive never seems to disappoint participants. Using a mixture of flash, ambient light and artificial light we are able to capture in detail the wingbeats and motion during the kingfishers dive. Full tuition is given on the day and all the lighting equipment is supplied. This image can only be taken with one photographer in the hide at a time so the price is for the whole hide to yourself on the day.
