One of our most popular hide was the Red-footed Falcon Tower which is still active and the last falcon chicks will probably fledge around the 20th of July. Take a look at a few image from this hide: http://www.sakertour.com/hidegallery.php?hide=3

Many photographers had excellent time in our Passerine Drinking Hide too where 47 species was recorded this Spring including goodies like Black Woodpecker, Middle Spotted Woodpecker (daily), Lesser Spotted Woodpecker, Collared Flycatcher (daily) and many others.

The Pygmy Cormorant Hide was excellent throughout the Spring with a different face every day. At the moment it is still very good with many herons and egrets visiting it. Images: http://www.sakertour.com/hidegallery.php?hide=5&author=&text=

The Panorama Hide was only good for about a month as we had a very dry Spring so the shallow wetlands quickly dried out. The latest images will be uploaded soon.

Rollers were great this Spring too. We had different locations and at the moment one hide still operating until about 10 July, Take a look at a few images: http://www.sakertour.com/hidegallery.php?hide=26&author=&text=

Also we used a few mobile hides and blindes. Mainly for Avocet mating and then later for Hoopoe. A few nice image were taken. Take a look: http://www.sakertour.com/hidegallery.php?hide=25&author=&text=

The Heron Flight Tower is not an actual hide but a few hours were spent here on most tours and it was very popular!
