Badgers, Buzzards, Hares and Barn Owls - 2 Days with Captivating Nature - Part 2

Part 2 of two incredible days at Captivating Nature’s wildlife hides, run by Des Ong. Last year I made this trip with Pops, but this time I’m on my own for a full weekend of immersive wildlife photography—and this adventure will be split into two parts so you can experience every moment with me. Armed with my Nikon Z9 and Z8, I’m aiming to get up close and personal with some of Britain’s most iconic and beautiful animals: Badgers as they emerge from the sett at dusk Buzzards swooping in with raw power Brown Hares bounding across the fields in golden light Barn Owls ghosting silently over the farmland at night Two full days in the hides means plenty of action, incredible encounters, and some surprises I never expected. It’s not just about the photos—it’s about the atmosphere, the patience, and the privilege of spending this much uninterrupted time in nature.
