I’ve been kind of caught up in life lately. Or rather, I don’t have time to go out into the countryside. Well, I do, but I go with my son and my dog, so we do other activities than collecting plants for the herbarium or bird watching and so on. You just can’t do that with a dog. Don’t get me wrong, I love spending time with my son!
So I just watch everything turn green and start to bloom. It’s a beauty that frustrates me, as I feel the need to take phenological notes and expand my herbarium.
So, for now, my amateur activity remains nightly butterfly mapping.
Last year was the hottest year in Clementinum in 250 years. The average temperature reached 10.3 ยฐC (50.54F), two degrees above the so-called normal from 1991 to 2020. It was particularly warm in February and March.
