belling tours on september 26 and 27, 2015
Like last year, again two so called 'belling tours' will be organised: a rare opportunity to experience the spectacular phenomenon of the belling red deer, a primeval event. The older male deer are going to look for the females. Especially in cold and clear nights, their call ('belling') can often be heard very well. The heavier and deeper the sound, the more impressed the younger competitors will be. During the mating season, often the males fight for the favours of the females. Sometimes there can even be deadly victims after the fight. The mating season really an be a matter of life and death. You have the chance to experience this extraordinary phenomenon yourself.
The tours will take place on Saturday September 26 and Sunday September 27, 2015. The schedule for these evening is: starting the reception you can have coffee or tea with a treat. After that a presentation will be held about the mating season of the red deer, followed by a delicious hot and cold buffet dinner. Then the whole group goes out in the dark by bicycle, guided by nature guide Gerard, to a place where chances are good to hear the belling (bicycles can be rent if necessary, for an additional € 5.00 per person).
Maximum 12 participants per night! There's Always many people interested in these tours, so it may be fully booked quickly. If you want to make sure to join, subscribe now.
