When the covid pandemic hit and the country went into lockdown many people used
the time to develop their hobbies, and Lisburn man Mark Magee was no exception.

A keen amateur photographer, Mark decided to perfect his photography skills and
even set up a permanent hide on his friend’s land in the hope of capturing some
of his favourite birds on camera.

“During the first Covid lockdown in March 2020, the enforced lack of freedom
required me to think about my photography and how I could pursue my passion for
photographing wildlife and birds without contravening the new regulations with
regards to the safety of others and myself,” explained Mark.

"What I needed was a different mindset because I’ve spent what seems a lifetime
travelling the length and breadth of the country in pursuit of the common and
illusive. I would say I have been into wildlife all my life, from when I could
walk, and I just turned 60 this October."



Photographer Mark Magee has published a book of wildlife photos he captured
during lockdown

So Mark decided rather than being on the move, he would put down roots to pursue
his hobby. “Occasionally in the past, I have used a portable collapsible hide.
So I enquired with a long-standing friend and landowner my desire to construct a
hide to photograph the visiting birds to his farmland. Thankfully he and his
father agreed to the proposed location and the construction of a permanent hide
on their farm.”

Mark developed his passion for both wildlife and photography and has now
published a book with some of his favourite snaps. “I feed the birds 365 days a
year, I have over 37 species now. I love to see them all arriving. I have
badgers, hares, and foxes who also visit.



"The hide has taught me new skills equipment wise as well as a new way to
observe the wildlife and the birds which feed and come to visit and I guess
above all else that patience has its virtues.”
