Anyone doing an #ObsWrapped? Looking back at some memorable observations of wildlife in 2025?

For the third year in row I look back at my journeys in nature and the observations I made. Every observation is dear to me. Some observations have an additional special place in my heart because it was a lifer and/or it was a wholesome experience. Here I will mention some of these observations (thread).

Short-eared Owl (lifer)
The surprise of the year. Short-eared owls had successfully bred in nearby meadows. In autumn, they emerged from the tall grass at dusk. They first sought each other out and then went hunting.

I witnessed this ritual several times, some of them together with my daughter. The most beautiful sight was seeing one of them flapping its wings in the evening glow.
