“Cover the wings of a bird with gold, and it will no longer be able to rise up in the air.”

Normally we collect bird rings on the Walk of Wisdom with the names of the municipalities on the route. This weekend we invite everyone to count birds for half an hour from your garden or balcony: national garden bird count. Who manages to put the busy work down for a while to look at nature?

The quote is from the Chinese philosopher Confucius (551 BC). Chr. -479 BC and the photo: a bird restaurant in the garden of Machteld Meij and Ronald Baksteen, a popular host family on the Walk of Wisdom on the Hatertse Vennen. https://www.tuinvogeltelling.nl/tuinvogels.
