Pine-forest with almost no wind between 0-2 bft at daytime / winter / February / Holland.
Audible:
It starts with the church-bell from the village church Drunen, 3 km away at the north, calling people to the Holy Mass. I like to hear this when the wind blows the sound away sometimes. Sometimes it is loud sometimes it's not. Listen..
Several woodpecker searching for insects under the bark of the trees and do there first cautiously spring hammering, telling others that this is 'my' territory.
Tit singing / calling sometimes, but it's clear that spring is still far away for them, even the are the first singers normally.
Dogs barking in the distance. And obvious a (more) high altitude plane(s).
Craws there.
Several woman pass, always noisy, man are more quiet in the woods. Is it because of there higher voices?
Do I here a robin, always difficult to determinate by the song. It's possible because they start singing the end of winter, early in spring, this time when the sun is there.
A woman on a horse is passing on the frozen sandy path. The horse is afraid of my equipment-bag standing there. The tits start calling when he pass. And an other plane is coming.
And there are some other woman..... I like them, but not in the woods. When the are gone it becomes quiet, peaceful for 5 minutes.
Play this on a low level, because it was quiet.
About the area, national park Loonse en Drunense Duinen
(Text by Irma de Potter,Ranger of this area) Dutch website: https://www.natuurmonumenten.nl/natuurgebieden/nationaal-park-loonse-en-drunense-duinen
In the Loonse en Drunense Duinen you will find forest, heathland and especially a lot of sand. It is one of the largest shifting sand areas in Western Europe. The wind can blow undisturbed in many places, resulting in an ever-changing landscape. By purchasing it in 1921, it has been protected for 100 years and we can still enjoy this Brabant Sahara today.
You can roam freely on the sand plain. So there is plenty of room to explore extensively. Marvel at the submerged trees, enjoy the chirping field crickets and quench your thirst at one of the many cafes or restaurants on the edge of this nature reserve. Walking, cycling or on horseback: it's all possible here. With the wind in your hair and the sand in your shoes. You may even come across the sheep herd. The sheep keep the heath short and eat away saplings. This is how they keep the area open.
The Loonse en Drunense Duinen still has 270 hectares of shifting sand. That sand creates rather extreme conditions: the soil is dry and nutrient-poor. The difference in temperature between day and night can be as much as 50 degrees Celsius. This ensures a unique flora and fauna. The animals and plants have adapted or feel at home in drought, aridity and temperature fluctuations. Sand sedge and various lichens, for example. And the viviparous lizard, sandpit beetles and sand bees. All species that love sand.
In the last Ice Age, the polar winds blew sand from the north to Brabant, where it remained in thick packages. For a long time this sandy plain was covered with primeval forests. Until the fourteenth century the trees were felled by people. They used the wood as fuel. The bare plain was filled with heather, where the farmers grazed their cattle. This intensive grazing and the sod cutting of the soil depleted the soil. This gave the sand free play. For a long time, the sand was a major problem for the residents. Villages and fields threatened to disappear under it. Trees were planted to stop the advancing sand. You can still see the traces of this today: find the submerged trees that only peak above the sand hills with their crowns.
