Hi John, its not always necessary to use a hide. I have a local wood designated an SSSI which I use for birdwatching quite often. I find the bestway to stay conceealed is to find suitable cover in the shape of Holly trees or other Coniferous Greenery. I wear subdued colours of Brown and green and when sat under this kind of cover I usaully blend in very well, so much so that the occasional person who wanders further into the wood quite often dont notice me unless they have a dog with them.
It works quite well for me the only thing I need to do is keep the camera stil!!
One tip is not to wear deodarant or other spray on scents, the dogs will pick it up very quickly and so will the wildlife.
Good luck
