Hide Rentals
We have set our Dyke hide up this year for Buzzard, Kites and a good chance of a sparrowhawk visiting too hunt the small garden birds. The hide is being run as single occupancy (£130) if you book alone you will shoot alone. If you wish to bring a photographer friend along then there is space for 2 photographers and we are offering a discount for this (£200). Other species you are likely to encounter during a day include Jay and great spotted woodpecker attracted to seed. The hide is heated with a toilet and is being run dawn to dusk.

Wiltshire Raptor Hide - Raptor Hide and Wildlife & Reflection pool hide - £180
This year there are 2 hides on offer in Wiltshire - the raptor hide which has been running now for a few years and proved very successful for buzzards and kites and also a brand new hide which is setup overlooking a large reflection pool with a raised grassed area behind it. This new hide is setup for farmland birds including species such as tree sparrows and yellowhammers and also birds of prey with carrion being placed on the mound for buzzards and kites and a really good chance of the sparrowhawk coming in to hunt the small birds. Very much a multi species hide with something too photograph all the time.

90º & 180º Brown Hare hides - Full & 1/2 days - £130 - £180
The hare hides are approaching their most active time now - from January to March is the best time of year for the chance of capturing images of them doing their courtship rituals and boxing. Weather on the day does play a massive part in how active the hares will be so this year we are offering a last minute date change if the weather forecast is looking particularly bad on the booked date. Cold, still and sunny days are the best for activity with wet, windy and cold days being the worst. Warmer wet days without the wind doesn’t affect activity. We want you to have a successful day in the hide so feel it’s best to offer this option to postpone should it be needed. The hares aren’t baited in anyway so the session’s activity relies on their natural movements on the day.

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.

Pond Hide - Kingfisher Courtship - March 2025 - £120
2024 was by far our best season to date with the kingfishers. We had all the intimate behaviours photographed on different broods and consecutive days all happening right in front of the hide on the perches. These were fish passing, mating and feeding fledged young along with huge numbers during the feeding periods. We are hoping for similar action in 2025 so have opened up the dates for next year on the booking site. It’s incredibly difficult for us to say exactly when these special moments will happen but from experience dates in March offer the best chance of witnessing them. Early booking advised as it’s a popular time.
