I suppose it depends on what you want to photograph.
One for list

Indeed, but for this thread I thought it would be nice to have a reference of the best hide to sit in if, say you only have an hour at a reserve for example but want some photos to take back with you or want a good chance of photographing a certain animal.

On to add to the list:the bittern hide at Fisher Green, Lee Valley. Ive heard bitterns and water rail are there often and the reed bed is pretty close with channels through it radiating from the hide. But when I was there they were hammering away at the hide doing repairs so no wildlife to see!
