Buzzard & Red Kite Twin Photography Hides – Marlborough Downs (Wiltshire)

Outside, 57 km from South Downsby David White Wildlife Photography / Smart Images (Oliver)

Two side-by-side two-man hides on Marlborough Downs outside Swindon. Operated by local farmer David White — a keen wildlife photographer himself — bookable via Smart Images (Oliver: 07802 417810). Special one-way glass imported from Spain: birds completely oblivious to photographer presence. Multiple buzzards and red kites simultaneously — in-flight perched bathing feeding and fighting all possible in single session. Wildlife reflection pool hide also now open. Heater toilet WIFI; gimbal plates provided. No deposit required to book. Cost: £180/single space or £360 exclusive hire. Season October–March (coldest months when natural food scarce). Meeting 75 min before sunrise at Royal Oak pub car park. 15 min south of M4 junctions 15-16.
