Here’s the latest image of our new hide , under construction in my workshop. Nearly ready to transport to the meadow…….
here’s the back story…..
It’s not long now until we officially become lease holders and start our new adventures at the Wild flower meadow. With only seven days to go , it’s full steam ahead. Myself and Graham have installed a few remote camera traps on site to gain a better understanding of what type of animal are visiting or passing through the meadow. Plans for the photography hide are in an advanced stage and I have started to construct the hide in my workshop. The hide will be assembled in sections and then transported to site , where we will finish off the building with timber cladding .

This is realy a beautful hide… you did a great job and I wish you lots off succes with it.
Thank you
Looking forward to your photographs of the meadow. Happy 2021!
We’re nearly there with the hide , two more weeks ?
Looks very sturdy, a labor of love. Will we get installation pictures? I grew up on construction sites, so I’d like to see the process.
Yes , we start the base next weekend and hopefully we will be finished by the end of jan
Excellent. Have a heavy duty vehicle to move it to the meadow?
No , it all should fit in my car , a few trips and then a lot of hard work. The meadow is 15 minutes walk from the nearest vehicle access.
Sounds like a good workout to get it set up. Can you leave it in place all season? Look very much forward to seeing your captures.
Happy new year
love Flo the fox, absolutely brilliant photo
Thank you
