Sample photos from the hide:

Description: The hide is situated in the private garden in the Bialowieza village. It is located near a small pine forest, which makes the background for the photos. We feed birds with fat, hazel nuts and various seeds. There is also a drinking pool which is usually frozen in winter. If you are not satisfied with the location of the hide you can use a camouflage tent and put it up wherever you want.

Description of the hide:
The hide is made of wood. Each photographer has got 2 holes: a larger one (size: 35x42 cm) at the height 1m and a smaller one (size: 26x36 cm) for ground level shots. You can observe the birds through a large mirror glass. You can even shoot through the glass but you must take into account that the glass reduces the light by ca. 2EV. Electricity is available in the hide.
