Description

There is only a short window of opportunity in June to photograph these small birds as they take food back to the nest site

Using your car (parked in a lay-by) as a hide with provided bean bag this site needs to be re-baited every hour or so by the photographer/s.

The photographer will need to be able to climb over a small stone wall for re-baiting.

Dark upper clothing is strongly advised.

No toilets available

Disabled access (apart from re-baiting)
