Pff, bad to almost dropped dead. I was planning to do a very motivated big year, after a quiet and not very active 2019. Wanted to go travel and camping a lot.
First there was a very wet and windy first months, right after that corona came along, prohibiting public transport travel for fun, so I was stuck to the region with not mu h diversity.
And I feel age and hard work starting to count more; I can't imagine anymore getting up at 4 on Saturday after a week's work to travel to Texel for a day...I need that few hours extra sleep!
Now public transport is possible again, I missed much, don't feel the need to chase twitches that much, nor does long travel with mask seem comfortable. And now grasshoppers and dragon/damselflies occupied my mind, broadening my field of interest and making choosing what to focus on harder.
So I don't put too much effort in it anymore this year. Just doing what I feel like and what pops up. Holiday coming up, waiting what weather will allow and what I will focus on: birds (and some grasshoppers) on a Wadden island, or going to Veluwe/Betuwe/Limburg to focus on grasshoppers/Crickets. Maybe just enjoying nature with a mixture of whatever pops up.
For 2021 I have my focus set on a holiday abroad in spring, birding/camping a lot in Dutchieland and in birdlow summer haunting the other critters... When corona allows it....
