About me

Born in the Netherlands for more than half a century ago and now living in Denmark for a 1/4 of a century. So a half grey-haired male by now, father, husband, house with a great view, car, work, in all: privileged.

Why I want to maintain a homepage.

My main interest (besides the above-mentioned roles in life) is birds all year round, with insects often replacing them during in summer time. And – as a former hobbyist landscape painter, the landscape and everything else from the nature around me.

By that I most often mean directly around me. The rather wild garden with a wide view, the fields in the area, the places I can walk to, the way to work or more rarely a visit by car. This interest has grown so big in the last 5 years that I feel like almost drowning in observations, information, good websites, apps and possibilities.
This homepage is therefore a way to clean up my head and share the things that I always plan to share, but that get pushed away into nothingness by new things.

I hope it will be of interest to all sorts of people who want to know more, get motivated, stimulated or keep going with their interest in nature. It’s good for nature, it’s good for all of us.

I am planning to write once a week about a nature subject I stumbled upon during the week, with a section about my own activities and observations, and a section with useful links or what-have-you-not

If all goes well I want to add one of my pictures of that week, but well, many might be “more for identification purposes” than anything else.
