Photographing
The hiding place has one-way glass (spy glass). 180x20cm, which you can photograph through.
Under the glass there are two photo windows in fabric.
The photo windows in fabric can be replaced with one-way glass.
The waterbed starts right in front of the hideout and reaches 5 meters away.
For photography of foxes and badgers, 100-200 mm is suitable. For smaller animals, 300-600 mm is suitable. The wildlife can get very close so zoom lenses are the best solution. In the hiding place are prayer bags and tripod heads with arca swiss mounts. There is a shelf for photography with prayer bags / tripod heads. If you prefer to use your tripod, this shelf can be easily folded down so that you can shoot through a one-way glass. Shooting through the one-way glass does not affect contrast or sharpness, but you lose about 1.3 steps of light.

Grävlingar har starka käkar men attackerar inte människor.
