As well as the fantastic footage of the Hobby, Dudley was also lucky enough to capture some brilliant footage of the badgers during the night session.

What an incredible session from the same hide — Hobby, Kingfisher, Green Woodpecker, Jays and Badgers, all captured in a single visit! 🦅🐦🦡

This really sums up what makes our hide so special. You genuinely never know what might turn up next. 📸🌿

Another fantastic addition to our ever-growing portfolio of wildlife sightings.

A huge thanks to Dudley for sharing this fantastic video! 🦅

He was lucky enough to be in the hide yesterday when the Hobby came in — and it made another appearance today, meaning we’ve now had 3 consecutive days of Hobby sightings! 🤞

Another fantastic species to add to our ever-growing wildlife portfolio. You really never know what’s going to turn up next at the hides.

We have good availability tomorrow and throughout the coming week for anyone wanting to experience the hides for themselves.

📩 If you’re interested in booking, drop us a message and we’ll be happy to help.

Some fantastic photos have been captured over the last few days, and I’ll be sharing more of them over the coming days.

As much as I was hoping to share a Green Woodpecker image — they’re still very much around — we’ll have to settle for something equally impressive!

We’ve also captured some fantastic footage of a Hobby, which is currently visiting the site. Another impressive species to add to our ever-growing portfolio of “you really don’t know what’s going to turn up next!”

That’s what makes the hides so exciting — every session can bring something completely unexpected. 🦅📸

Something a little unusual on our hide cameras today… a heron catching a mouse! 🐦🐭

See the first comment for the picture — definitely not something you see every day!

The hide was closed today while we installed our new camera system, meaning guests can now get an even better view of everything happening around the hide, without missing those moments that can happen in an instant.

We also took the opportunity to reduce one of the self-set sycamores, which has made a huge difference to the amount of time we get that perfect afternoon sunlight coming into the hide. 🌅

Everything is now ready for guests, with availability from Thursday onwards.

Fancy a session? Drop us a message and come and see what’s happening at the hide. 📸🦅🦡🐿️

Still plenty of action at the hide! 🦡📸

Kingfishers, badgers, jays and woodpeckers are still making daily appearances, so there’s plenty to keep you busy while you’re in the hide.

We have spaces available Thursday, Friday and Saturday this week if anyone fancies a session.

I’m also hoping to have a new state-of-the-art camera system installed in the original hide tomorrow, which should take the photography experience to another level! 📷

If you fancy a go, drop me a message to book your day. 👍

Certainly a case of effort = reward on this one, with a good 18-hour session in the hide paying off! 😀

A lot of patience, plenty of time spent waiting, but absolutely worth it for these shots. 👌📸

It has been a pleasure to welcome so many new faces over recent weeks, and we are delighted by the positive feedback we have received regarding our setup and the variety we have to offer.

Over the coming days, I’ll be sharing a selection of recent photographs, with full credit given to the photographers.

To begin, here is a wonderful selection of images from Rob Jess. Fantastic photography, and many thanks to Rob for taking the time to capture and share these with us.

🦩 YOU JUST NEVER KNOW WHAT’S GOING TO TURN UP! 📸

A little Egret decided to put on a fishing show right in front of our main wildlife hide today — and what a fantastic opportunity this would have been for a photographer!

With our low-level photography hatches, you can get down close to the water and create those stunning, eye-level reflection shots that really make wildlife images stand out. 🤩

Imagine this little Egret wading through the shallows, reflected perfectly in the water, with nothing between you and the action…

This is exactly why we love the hide at Welham Lake Nature Retreat. You simply never know what your next photograph is going to be!

If you're looking for something a little different from your next wildlife photography session, come and experience it for yourself. 🌿📷

🦔 Another project coming to life at Welham Lake Nature Retreat 🌙

We have a whole host of exciting projects evolving here, and one that is really starting to come to fruition is our hedgehog project — including hoglets! 🦔❤️

This footage comes from our second hide on the accommodation lake, where we have created a controlled lighting area specifically to allow us to observe and capture some of the wildlife visiting after dark.

And it isn't just the hedgehogs making an appearance… our Tawny Owls are visiting too. 🦉

It's fantastic to see these projects developing naturally and to be able to share the results with our visitors. We can't wait to see what else starts turning up!

Welham Lake Nature Retreat — you never quite know what might appear next. 🌿🦔🦉
