At a birdwatching fair, a lady from Africa asked me how we translate the word birdwatching into Italian. The literal translation would be "osservare gli uccelli" (to watch birds), but birdwatching means much more than that.
It means that one day you might decide to take a walk in the countryside, or, as is the case in our region, among the wetlands and along the ditches and suddenly you realise that there is an entirely new world you can discover. It means learning to look for and identify shapes hidden in reedbeds, birds flying in the sky or diving in search of food. It means learning to listen to sounds and recognise the singing of birds. It means trying to identify a bird flying or roosting on a nest. It means experiencing nature! Follow us…..
