Redstart Hide

13:15 - Dusk
May

Our Redstart Photography Hide is situated in a small lowland forest this hide day will either be from a fixed 3 man hide or a pop up.

We have built the 3 man hide quite close to where we hope one will nest, but if this does not work out we have created 6 other sites where we can use a pop up hide.

We are very confident several will be used by these birds.

It is important that clients are there sharp as the hide manager only has a 30 minute window and if you are late you may loose your day. It would also be appreciated if you could be suited and booted and have all required kit ready prior to the meeting. Thanks in advance.

FAQ

HOW LONG DOES THE SESSION LAST AND DO I NEED TO STAY ALL DAY?

From the start time that is around lunchtime you can stay as long as you wish

CAN I START LATER THAN THE STATED TIME?

Not for this subject

WILL I BE ABLE TO GET A PHONE NUMBER FOR THE PERSON I AM MEETING?

It is our policy not to give out our number as in the past it caused to much hassle as we were receiving calls all day and night. We were forced to make the decision to only deal with emails, Facebook messenger or Instagram messages.

DOES THE SITE MANAGER GIVE ME A LIFT TO THE HIDE AND COLLECT ME LATER?

No, you are greeted at the meeting point then are told to follow the site manager to the hide where you park up. The hide is only a short walk from here.

CAN I BRING MY OWN BAIT?

NO, All bait must be supplied by Scottish Photography hides.

CAN I HAVE EXCLUSIVE USE OF THE HIDE/SITE?

If you would like a hide to yourself the number of seats in that particular hide must be paid for. If you want the whole site to yourself it is a high cost and a price can be arranged.

CAN I SHOOT WIDE ANGLE ON REMOTE WITH MY CAMERA OR FLASH OUTSIDE THE HIDE?

Only if no other clients are using the hide that day.

WHAT HAPPENS IF THE REDSTART DOES NOT SHOW DO I GET A REFUND OR FREE DAY?

Unfortunately no, However as we are at the nest this is almost guaranteed

WHAT IF I NEED TO CANCEL MY DAY DO I GET A REFUND OR AN ALTERNATIVE DATE?

If the cancelation occurs within one month of the hide date you will unfortunately lose your day altogether. If it is over a month away you will be able to choose another date that must be taken within a 12 month period of the cancelation. With covid being a factor in recent times we have extended this period to 2 years. However no refunds will be issued on any cancelations.
