Luckily this beautiful small owl species is very happy perching in good light and close to a hide. Although the hide is situated in a working farm environment it has meant the owls are less shy of disturbance and all evening sessions in 2015 resulted in a 100% success rate throughout the season. Despite this success, good hide discipline is required.
Little owls are more active diurnally between April and September and evening sessions are more productive, starting around 4pm (this time may vary).
“I spent a wonderful afternoon with David photographing Little Owls. An experience I would highly recommend. A very professional set up with great photos available if you take David’s advice and practice good hide etiquette. I am over the moon with my photos”
David Harris
A lens of at least 400mm is required for this hide.
You have two choices hiring the hide:
1. Exclusive hire – a mutually agreeable date when you will have the hide all to yourself. The cost is £160pp for April, August & September and £210 for May, June & July.
During the May, June, July period due to the day length there may be two sessions booked in each hide in any one day, so morning or afternoon sessions will be available.
Please be aware, you will not be supervised during these days.
2. Supervised tuition days – when I will instruct and supervise your session fully on a 1-to-1 or -to-2 basis. £290pp or £420 for 2 people. During these sessions, supervised customers will get perched shots, in-flight shots, and barn window shots.
