With regular sightings of both pine martens, badgers and wild cats, we have decided to reopen our 'Wildlife Lookout' for business. We are offering photographers exclusive access to the Lookout, where they can capture beautiful photos from a distance of 5-10m away. A typical session in the Lookout might last from 8pm to midnight but we adjust start times based on animal behaviour and changing daylength, however photographers can stay longer if they are photographing all species. Pine martens will be photographable on a natural log which is raised about 1m off the ground. Badgers will be photographable on short grass just beneath. The scene is floodlit by three spot lamps attached to the Lookout's exterior, however depending on what time the martens wander in they can still be photographed in natural light.
We have received several bookings already for our new Wildlife Lookout. One of our first bookings was Andy Hayes – a regular to Glen Tanar wildlife hides. When we asked Andy what he likes about Glen Tanar wildlife hides he said “I have been going to Glen Tanar for wildlife hides for several years and enjoy the well-organized, yet very personal experiences.” Andy thoroughly enjoyed his time in our new Wildlife Lookout telling us that “Anyone contemplating this opportunity I’d say, take it, low light photography can be challenging but you’ll enjoy the experience and could be lucky and take some great shots."
