The Highlights of 2025

For several years now, I’ve had the habit of publishing a selection of photos with my highlights of the year on my personal Facebook page at the end of the year. This year, I also started publishing more of the photos I took in the Netherlands on my website. That started with the Spectacled Eider on Texel in January, and my first monthly overview covered May 2025. Recently, I also published an overview of autumn 2025. It seemed nice to also publish a full year overview here now. For readers who are not familiar with the Netherlands: the places I write about are located in the Netherlands unless stated otherwise.

The highlights of May 2025

From my travels abroad, I regularly post updates on my website, but of course, I spend most of my time at home in the Netherlands. And of course I go out shooting here too. While the species may not always be as exotic as those abroad, there’s still plenty to see in the Netherlands. I’m particularly interested in birds, but occasionally I encounter special mammals as well. I’ve already seen a wolf, wildcat, and European otter here—and once even an orca! Recently, I also bought a macro lens to explore the world of smaller creatures. So, I thought it would be fun to post a monthly update with the photographic highlights of that month. Let’s kick off with May!
