Wild Buzzard Hide Rental

Set within a woodland at an idyllic 600 acre farm, we have constructed a comfortable professional hide where you can enjoy an exclusive, day-workshop or hide rental photographing wild Buzzard.

Although this beautiful bird of prey can be seen perched close to the side of the road, it is incredibly shy bird. Therefore making it a real challenge to photograph it up close, even for some seasoned nature photographers. Especially hard, is a perspective where you can really appreciate how magnificent this small raptor is.

The welfare of wildlife is paramount to us. As such, the hide is only open three days a week. This is designed primarily to minimise our impact and to encourage natural, wild behaviour. We are also concerned about any unintentional disturbance caused to the birds during the use of the hide. So all participants will be driven to the hide and can only venture out of the hide at the end of the session. There is a portable loo available in a separate chamber for your convenience.

One of the unique features of this professional hide, is the distance that it affords the photographer to the subject. This is only possible with the use of a specially imported one-way glass, pioneered by Bence Máté.  If you are using a cropped-sensor camera i.e. an entry level digital SLR, you can still get a nice shot of this beautiful raptor with a modest 70-300mm lens.

With full-size sensor bodies, a 500mm will give you a tight fill of the entire frame. A shorter lens is recommended for shots when the Buzzard spreads its wings.
