BIRDS - my most important interest

 

Since I was a little kid I have been interested in birds. Then I liked to look after nests, and as many kids I had a little collection of eggs. Later I always have been interested, but when I was young I was not very active. In 1993 I heard about the local Ornithological Society, and become a member there. Next year I was elected to the local council. I have been there since, most of the time as leader. I like very much to look at the birds in wild, but I also use much time ringing birds. Since 1998 I also had nursed many injured birds.


How my interest started

The first thing I can remember about birds happened when i was around 3-4 years old. One Sunday morning a little bird flew on the window. My father catches it, and took the bird inside the house. We looked in a book, and saw it was a Wren. Later that day we were visiting another family, and we come home, we could not find the bird. After a while we found the Wren into a porthole. I don't remember the rest, but I am sure the bird was set free after that.
