Drongengoedbos forest and heath in spring, Maldegem, Belgium

from /r/vexillology Top comment: The flag of [Maldegem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maldegem), a municipality in Belgium. Adopted in 1988. The birds are merlettes, which are a mythological bird used in French heraldry. They are drawn without beaks or feet. Possibly this is to symbolize their constant flight and tirelessness, but there are other possible explanations. See this [old post on merlettes](https://www.reddit.com/r/heraldry/comments/3y47a1/whats_with_birds_with_missing_bits_in/) from r/heraldry. ^(Found with) [^(Flag a Day Widget for iPhone)](https://apps.apple.com/app/id1542467291)

Whipz voor kids. After #bieles2017, Maldegem was almost a breath of fresh air. Not exciting but you were able to breathe and your heart wasn't in your throat. @mathieuvanderpoel essentially doing intervals today. Sorry, no sound 🔊 . #watchmewhip #cyclocross #cx #veldrijden #Maldegem
