Ever fancied the chance to get up-close and personal with badgers in their natural habitat?
Alasdair Grubb
We're offering an opportunity to get a truly fantastic experience to get really close and watch/study these fascinating animals, and give you an evening you will never forget. Whether you want to sit and observe these exquisite animals at close quarters, or get some phenomenal photo opportunities of them, this is for you.
The hide is only a canvas hide (for now!), 2mx2m in size, so big enough for 2 people who don't mind getting cosy, or one who wants to stretch out. The area is floodlit, so when badgers emerge after dark, you can still get some great views and photographs.
Pricing initially will be £65 for RSPB members and £80 for non-members (to hire the hide out for one evening).
For more information, or to book, please email alasdair.grubb@rspb.org.uk
Myself and my friend where booked to go on a badger watch from a viewing point at a local reserve run by a wildlife charity in North East England and it was free of charge. To me the RSPB charging an excruciating amount for viewing badgers, particularly £65.00 for RSPB members and more for non members is completely wrong. At least I can go to a viewing point with the warden of this local reserve in North East England and almost guaranteed on seeing badgers for free with booking in advance.
