点评:I did the trip to this bear watching hide with my daughter.
We arrived at the meeting point and were taken to the hide. The hide is basic, but comfortable. There are two hides which have bunkbeds and can each accommodate up to nine people. There are windows at the front and the back. For watching.
We were lucky enough to have the hide to ourselves. My daughter sat overlooking the clearing, and I was at the back watching the trees.
We saw plenty of birds, Nuthatch, Crested Tits, Marsh Tits, Great Tits, Coal Tits, Blackbirds, Woodpecker, Pigeons, a Common Crane and lots of Jays - a rarity at home so it was a real pleasure to see so many so close.
The birds kept me entertained, until eventually, after what seemed like hours along came a bear. A big, beautiful, furry, brown bear. It was incredible. My daughter rushed silently over to see. The only sound our excited whispers and the camera shutter.
We saw five different Bears during the course of the evening, along with two Racoon Dogs and a Wild Boar.
With hindsight we should have stayed awake longer, or taken shifts watching, and I'm sure we would have seen more. But sleep got the better of us.
The following morning we left the hide at 8:00am as instructed, and started the long walk back to the car.
Imagine turning a corner and seeing a bear on the path in front of you. We don't have to imagine because it happened, just like that, to us.
Fortunately the bear was more afraid of us than we were of it. It turned and ran.
If you are thinking about doing this bear watching in Estonia, don't think....DO! You will not regret it. We enjoyed it so much that we plan to go again next year.
Bert and his team are very well organised, communication is good, my email enquiries were replied to promptly.
On the whole a very positive experience from start to finish.
Thank you.
翻译:我和女儿一起去了这家观熊场。
我们到达集合地点后,被带到了观熊场。观熊场设施简陋,但很舒适。场内有两个带双层床的观熊场,每个最多可容纳九人。前后都有窗户,方便观熊。
我们很幸运地独享了这片观熊场。女儿坐在空地上俯瞰,我则在后面观察树木。
我们看到了很多鸟儿,有五子雀、凤头山雀、沼泽山雀、大山雀、煤山雀、黑鸟、啄木鸟、鸽子、灰鹤和许多鸟——这些鸟儿在家乡很少见,所以能如此近距离地看到这么多鸟儿,真是太高兴了。
鸟儿们一直让我乐在其中,直到最后,似乎过了几个小时,一只熊出现了。一只体型巨大、美丽、毛茸茸的棕熊。真是太不可思议了。女儿默默地跑过去看。唯一的声音就是我们兴奋的低语和相机快门的声音。
那天晚上,我们看到了五只不同的熊,还有两只貉和一头野猪。
事后看来,我们应该多睡一会儿,或者轮流观察,这样我们就能看见更多熊了。但我们还是睡着了。
第二天早上8点,我们按照指示离开了兽皮,开始了漫长的步行返回车里。
想象一下,当你拐过一个弯,看到一只熊在你面前的小路上。我们不用想象,因为它就发生在我们身上。
幸运的是,那只熊比我们更怕我们。它转身就跑了。
如果你正在考虑在爱沙尼亚观熊,别想了……赶紧行动吧!你不会后悔的。我们非常喜欢,计划明年再去。
Bert和他的团队组织有序,沟通顺畅,我的电子邮件咨询也得到了及时回复。
总的来说,从始至终,这是一次非常愉快的体验。
谢谢。
