Great captures, I'll have to give that place a look next time I'm over in Durham.
Where abouts is it, roughly.

Lamesley is near Kibblesworth, and the hide is opposite the Ravensworth Arms, but you need a key from Thornley Woodland Center (£5 for 5 hides and the key is yours to keep) Ive attatched both site addresses for you, good Luck.

Great hover shots, their always a bit to far away when I've seen them do this.

Lovely shots - different to the traditional captures and better for it.
