Our facilities
We have a wide range of established indoor and outdoor sets already in
place. All our sets are fully enclosed with specially designed portals to
allow unimpeded vision of the animals inside. They are planted to mimic
a range of natural habitats with fully mature vegetation, rocks, logs and
established landscaping. While smaller animals are transferred from
large off-show holding cages to the film sets to ensure minimal damage
to their vegetation some larger species such as the red fox are
maintained permanently in spacious landscaped enclosures.
Our European beaver family occupies a landscaped 8 acre valley with
specially designed lower dam walls which allow for ‘infinity’ photography
across the water surface.
The outdoor habitats comprise heathland, drystone walls, rock mound,
woodland, hedgebank, wetland pools and culm (sedge) grassland. Inset
features vary but are principally hollow logs, tree stumps or rocks. Our
indoor facility is constructed in a well lit building will full power and
lighting facilities. We have a wide range of large enclosures, aquaria,
assorted props and vegetation to facilitate the construction of highly
realistic small sets.
The main photography site has a barbeque facility on site for evening
parties which can be supplied with a selection of locally sourced
burgers, chops and sausages. All our days are accompanied by a
trained animal handler.
A wildlife photography expert is available to tutor groups on request.
