Up close in a hide with the birds - Cumbria Woodland Hide

So this week I've come to the 𝗖𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗮 𝘄𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗶𝗱𝗲 in Cockermouth in the 𝗟𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁, today is more of a reconnaissance day to check out the hide and see what wildlife is around for a future trip that I have planned later in March of this year, today I am photographing in the hide with a good friend Alan who is also a *wildlife photographer*.

The morning started off with a bang and straight away the female sparrowhawk was spotted on the tree just to the right of the hide as the male sparrowhawk came in on one of the perches to have his breakfast of a baited feed.

Obviously during the time that the 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄 𝗛𝗮𝘄𝗸𝘀 are around nowhere the birds or bang bowls can be seen as they are scattered away in hiding until the sparrowhawks have left, once they have left all the little birds come back such as the nuthatch, great tit, bluetit, chaffinch and treecreepers, along with the great spotted woodpecker and many others.

All in all, it was a fantastic day in this little hide photographing the birds it was nonstop action from start to finish with never a dull moment and always something to photograph.
