A very efficient hide, John. Good to see photographers working for their shots! Nice image of the male bringing food, you should get great shots when the young are old enough to come to the entrance. I agree with the advice from Satish about toning down the pale areas of bark. I am afraid such an exposed site in the UK would be prone to vandalism - best of luck.

Yes Juan, mainly this particular tower as I can erect it solo. The image of the Woodswallow, a couple of posts ago, was taken using this tower.

Thanks Melvin for your comments. Yes I've heard of some of the problems you have photographing wildlife in the UK, and in the US to I guess. Fortunately I live in the central west of New South Wales (A bit more isolated than West Wales, UK)
so interference with gear left out in view of the public is negligible.
I would love to get over to your neck of the woods sometime - we watch an English TV program here called "Escape to the Country". Often they show areas of the countryside around Wales that makes me want to go there to visit..!! Maybe one day.........
