TIL birdwatching can be interesting if you know the geographical and historical ins and outs of the territory.

This is Punta Alberete 📍 a very important park in the middle of Ravenna's province, that was once flooded marshlands.

Through the work of the papal state in the XXVII century, the land of the province was reclaimed from the marshlands to build the modern infrastructure of roads and towns and houses.

But thanks to a random dude in 1965 though, Punta Alberete was spared from becoming a wasteland of cement and cheap architecture and it was converted to be a permanent refuge for all kind of birds and wildlife that can still be observed today.

Oh and grass touched ✅
