In 2021 I have the first observations again. Now from my second life, after my stroke in 2019. May 2021 I was able to do a lot, and the observations tell that story. The photos are from bike rides at Bergschenoek, a midweek Limburg (Arcen) and a weekend at Ootmarsum. When I look at photos now (2025) I mainly see dragonflies. And I see that automatic validation available in waarneming.nl. That is great for collectors like me. And it encourages amateurs like me to enter many species. That makes researchers happy again.
