‘Kite’ hide
The Red Kite (Milvus milvus), with its colourful plumage and acrobatic flight, is perhaps the most photogenic bird of prey we have in Mallorca. From our specific hide for kites, you can enjoy photographing them both perched and gliding, with the Serra de Tramuntana in the background.
Built in wood with generous dimensions (3.5m. x 1.6m. x 1.9m.) that allow for comfortable enjoyment of several hours of the session in the best conditions. It has a capacity for 3 photographers or 5 observers as it has 3 large high-quality spy glasses for photographing and our presence goes unnoticed by the animals.
The design and location have been carefully supervised by Francis de Andrés, an internationally awarded Wildlife photographer.
The feeder and water pond are about 8-10 metres from the hide, and we have placed some approach perches, so that in the same session you can get photographs in water, in flight, in perch and on the ground.
Let’s not forget that we are talking about birds in the wild, and depending on the time of year, weather conditions or other factors, they may come to a greater or lesser extent, or even not show up at all. In this case, we will give the visitor a bonus for a future session.
Operativa de las sesiones
Tras recibir al observador u observadores en la finca, se les transporta en vehículo propio hasta la misma puerta del hide, y con rapidez hay que introducirse en éste. Al terminar la sesión, el mismo vehículo vendrá a recogerles a la hora acordada. Si se desea dar por finalizada la sesión con anterioridad, deberá comunicarse con el personal por vía telefónica.
