Geocache Description:

Very easy Multi-cache!! the cache itself located in 200 meter radius from the coordinates!!

Welcome to Jerusalem! and welcome to one of the unique and surprise places in the city.
I assume that many of you passed throw this road and didn't think about a ringing station in the middle of the city.
While searching for the cache please make yourself at home and enjoy this piece of nature.

Just above SAKER garden and below THE KNESSET and the supreme court is placed one of the most quiet and peaceful places in Jerusalem that was established many years ago - Jerusalem ringing station.

This station rings thousands of birds a year, especially during the migration season ( spring and autumn ).
You can enter the website:
(visit link)

Beside the ringing station which opens 24/7 you can find the visitor center which was built 2 years ago and is one of the few "living buildings" in Israel. you can see the green roof but please do not stand or walk on this roof because of it's spacial ecosystem.

It's worth coming at the early morning ( around sunrise ) to watch how the birds are picked from the nets and each bird gets it's ring. great experience for the kids ( and for adult as well ).

As for the cache:
The coordinates will take you to a nice memorial for the warriors of the independence war of Israel at 1948.

Now, lets go for the multi-cache:
a = the number of spots at the small circle of the memorial minus 1
b= the number of flags poles at the south eastern point of the area multiplied by 2.
c= the number of monuments plus 1.
d = the number of flags poles at the south eastern point of the area.
e = the number of spots at the small circle of the memorial minus 2
f = the number of monuments.

3146.abc 3512.def

The cache is located inside the area of the ringing station but not inside the research area, so please don't go inside this place and do not step on any plants in the area.
The cache is placed next to the "living building".
By the way, Amir, the manager of this place knows all about this cache so feel free to have a chat with him. (He is also a very nice guy)

Be aware from muggles and please replace the cache very well.
