Waterstation
You will face to a small artifical pond where a variety of animals come to drink and take a bath.
The perfect opportunity to capture the reflection of our wildlife.
Mirror, mirror
In this beautiful forest we have a special hide.
This one of a kind water station attracts the interest of the living creatures of the woods.
They often come and ask to the reflection in the ponds water “who is the fairest of them all?”
A sensitive question which you might try to answer while sitting in the hide.
You dont have to be a photographer to enjoy the small wildlife that comes really close.
Some conservation work has been placed within the location such as bird boxes, nest protection and habitat enhancements.
The area is a private land with no traffic which guarantees that wildlife is not disturbed.
