New dates added for December; see below.
A wonderful, unique and exciting opportunity to photograph wild Common Buzzard & Red Kite at a private farm location in Wiltshire.
The bird activity this autumn and winter has been excellent with many clients enjoying the spectacle and of course the comfortable hide. Close portraits, action or behaviour can all be observed and photographed during your full day session. The hide offers up to three people from the same group to book.
Further dates will be added soon as we monitor the bird activity and if you wish to be notified specifically about new dates then please let Oliver know.

Booking Information
Final dates available before Christmas include 17th, 18th, 20th, 21st and 22nd December. The bird activity is still very good and at this time of year the first chances of snow could make the site even more exciting.
For full details of the hide sessions please visit Oliver's Hides page to view the availability calendar and to book. The price is £130 per person for a full day session. Your group may book up to three people. Your group will be able to use all three shooting ports or you can have multiple lenses set up if you're on your own. I recommend a 200-300mm lens reach for action and a 500-600mm lens for portraits.
The images in this newsletter were all taken on the same day during a quick three hour session but all shot within one hour of incredible action! For more images taken at the venue please visit Oliver's Hides page.

The Birds
During my short visit in early November a total of ten Common Buzzards were visiting at one time. Red Kites are regular but will often get pushed off by the buzzards. Carrion Crows, Magpies, Ravens, Stonechats and a few other birds may also show up too during your session.
