We have just visited Paul's squirrel hides and it was amazing!

I can confirm Paul is an excellent host and the reflection hide is just awesome, I did the jump and wall as well just pre-focus and hit the shutter button on the jump my A7III at 10 fps achieved one or even two shots with each jump the cheeky scamps even came into the hide. The next time I visit Paul will be the Little Owl hide !

I’ve been to Paul’s hides for the squirrels 🐿️ and the reflection pool, absolutely brilliant 🤩 really brilliant and Paul is really helpful too 😊

Lovely images. With the constant threat from Grey squirrels and squirrel pox the poor red is under struggling to survive.

What a place and a fantastic idea to enable anyone to take pictures of wildlife like that. Incidentally, it was a wild life picture I took a few years back that changed me from taking snaps to taking half decent images. Hats off to Paul for creating such a place. Excellent pictures Gary.

Excellent shots in a great looking location. A privilege to be able to see Red Squirrels in almost completely wild surroundings when most of us will only see Grey Squirrels. Must check it out when I visit the area. Interesting to compare with @DaniConnorWild who went to Sweden to photograph Red Squirrels which is not an option for many people.

Wow just amazing to see and watch them, fantastic work as always

Right, after watching this excellent video I immediately contacted Paul and booked myself onto his Red Squirrel day. I thought I was a reasonably good wildlife photographer. Being completely self-taught I arrived and met Paul. A thoroughly decent guy, great company and he showed me how to use my camera properly!! Got probably the best photos I’ve ever taken. Immediately booked myself onto another of his workshops (badgers). If you are into wildlife and like to spend a day sat in a hide, with zero phone signal! Paul is amazing. Cheers Mike

I can’t believe you have only seen a Woodpecker on one occasion, I have seen scores of them but I have only ever seen one Red Squirrel in my life and that was over 40 years ago. To capture one is on my bucket list, they are adorable. I have been following you for over three years now Gary and this has to be one of the most enjoyable Vlogs you have produced to date. Landscapes change but they are always there, wildlife is elusive and it’s so satisfying to capture it. The leaping Squirrel shots were top draw 👌👍 Thanks Paul for inviting Gary so he could share his experience 👍

As an added bonus the surrounding area is just gorgeous so hoping to squeeze some landscapes in as well. Fabulous photos and excellent video - Paul’s bookings will go through the roof which he deserves as he is so passionate about the squirrels and his conservation work. Clive
