Wildlife

The hide stands in a sparse pine forest and has views in three directions.
Wildlife such as fox, eagle and gos hawk can appear here. 

Looking for wildlife

In northern Gästrikland stands a special built forest hut where many bird species and other animals can be seen during the winter. We gather in the morning at Wild Nordic’s gallery. After a short drive and 200 metres walk, the guide will show you the set up in the hide and on your own you will begin the exciting search.

Our activities are done on the conditions of nature and there is no guarantee of what we will see / hear / experience.

Arrangement

After a short drive and 200 metres walk, the guide will show you the set up in the hide and on your own you will begin the exciting search. You will be picked up by the guide at the agreed time.

Photography

There are 10 different windows and photo openings where you can place your camera. 200-500 mm is suitable. Of course, other lenses/cameras are also fine. Birds of prey and foxes usually stay 15-30 metres from the hide. Perches for small birds and squirrels are 4-7 meters away. There are bean bags and smart tripod solutions (gimbal heads, swing tripods and arca swiss plates). Your own tripod head/tripod does not work. Flash is not allowed.

The hide has large bunk beds with sleeping bags, pillows and blankets and a simple toilet. In order to keep warm, there are insulating carpets on the floor, a gasolin heater, warm pillows together with warm ponchos and slippers. There is bad connection in the hide (ok for calls and texts but unstable internet).

Good to know before nature watching

Guided tour

Packed lunch
