On this beautiful March spring day, hear the moor-frogs (Rana arvalis) in a ditch at the edge of the marsh. Birds: #0:41 Common Chiffchaff, #0:48 Common Blackbird and #0:04 #0:12 Eurasian Wren, #2:08 Greylag Goose and #1:14 #1:22 Carrion Crow .
In front the fields and the Moerputten-swamp. To the left is the far highway, the city and a footpath over an old railway embankment.
The old railway track is called “the half sole line” (NL; halvezolenlijntje), because shoes used to be made along this track and because there were 39 stops on a 43 km long track and because all bridges were made for double track lines and only one track had been built. ‘Half a sole’ (halve zool) was someone who was foolish. So the construction of the track was foolish.
