As you can see it's quite high up over the lake so good for watching the grebes but not so clever for photographing them. However the trees just to the left of it in the picture yield these kind of close-ups...  
Both un-cropped images.

| Since RSPB changed its policy and had no feeders there, it is pretty dead. There is a reliable site for nuthatches on the way off the road to the canopy hide though!. |

The hide behind the cafe where they feed the birds - often very close to the birdies there. Said to be a reliable water rail there too - I dipped though. |

I was at RSPB The Lodge on Friday - they have a good hide facing 2-3 feeders, with adjacent brambles and a tree offering good perches.
Not sure of the name of the hide, but it's roughly where the red dot is on this map (it overlooks one of the three the small ponds): http://www.rspb.org.uk/Images/lodge_352_tcm9-39086.gif
You can't get close enough for frame filling shots, but it's still pretty good.
