The Tawny Owl Photography Hide is situated alongside our Sparrowhawk hide, however depending on activity a switch to a different Tawny Owl hide may be advised.
At one Tawny Owl site I have Pine Martens also and at the other I have Badgers. If you choose to book the Tawny Owl through this link then the Pine Marten or Badger food is placed away from the the area caught by flash so you will not get images of these. If you want both subjects you must book through either the Pine Marten/Tawny Owl page or the Badger/Tawny Owl page which is £20 extra.
There is to be no messing about with the set-up in anyway.
Disturbance must be kept to a minimum.
Do not wander in and out of the hide unless completly neccessary
No gaps in the netting making yourself visible in any way from outside.
No sudden lens movements
Noise to be kept to a minimum
Please take all your mess home
When the Owl visits please wait until he starts feeding before any shots are fired
The site is covered by CCTV with audio.

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-19 being a factor in recent times we have extended this period to 2 years. However no refunds will be issued on any cancelations.
