Best Wildlife Photography Hides

Where is the best hide for photography? Many hides are postioned either to far from the animals/birds or facing into the sun for example, but some have wildlife right up close. What are the best hides you know of? And what can you see there?

To start the ball rolling the 3 best I can think of are

The hide at RSPB Minsemere with nesting black headed gulls and avocets just in front (East hide I believe).

Tern Hide at RSPB Rye meads - which ironically had lots of gadwall a few feet away with the sun in the right postion, unlike the gadwall hide next door!

Turf field hide (I think it has another name too) at Grove ferry - Ive got my best ever snip photo hereand just missed out on a kingfisher and Ive seen loads of good photos from a chap called steve ashton there too.
