Hello LBC users,
Please excuse what may seem like a silly question here but ..................

Are there any written or unwritten rules / guidelines on using your own bird hides?
As a recent beginner to bird watching and bird photography I am considering buying a hide for myself, for use in my garden and also out and about.
Any tips and advice on your thoughts and experiences with hides would be gratefully received. Like I say I am a newcomer to this and am really enjoying the little I have done thus far and want to do more.
If for instance anyone knows of a good place to put a hide, say in the south of the region I would appreciate tips on this too.
Thanks in advance for reading this and please excuse my ignorance here but I want to learn and the only way is to ask!!
