At 23k, it seems a lot of cash to pay for a portacabin stuck on a concrete plinth but is actually very nice when you get in and, the biggest surprise of all, it points the right way! All other hides on the reserve point south / east.... directly into the sun!!
Looking out onto the 'Bottom Tank' is also a bonus as the water levels can be controlled welll here (given some rain) so should prove perfect for wader watching and photography.
Two Avocets were the first birds to visit yesterday, albeit briefly, as the 'newness' of the hide attracted lots of visitors = disturbance.
Stayed just long enough for a couple of shots......
I just took a look at your £23k portable cabin. When you consider the man hours involved in the build and the prep, plus the cost of transport and craneage it's not bad. Also it looks like it will last a good 20 years or so - many many enjoyable birding days to come.
