Since the early 1970s I'm interested in nature observation, starting at the age of 14 with microscopy. A collection of my photomicrographs could be found in the protist gallery of my website https://www.protisten.de/.
The floodplain forest south of my hometown Augsburg is a good habitat for orchids, so this inspired me in the early 1970s to look for flowering plants and especially for orchids.
In 2014 a friend induced me to start birdwatching with focus on shorebirds and other aquatic birds.
