For me, December stands out in particular. However, some caution is needed: most of these observations were actually made in October but I uploaded them only in December. What is certain, though, is that many of the species I observed during my trip through Spain and Portugal were true first-time sightings for me. This includes, for example, the spotless starling, of which I was able to make a particularly large number of observations. Equally impressive for me were the black stork and the hoopoe. In addition, there were numerous other remarkable encounters\u2014such as with pilot whales or barbary macaques, as well as the many greater flamingos, which will remain memorable to me for a long time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"pg-31050-12\" class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;background_image_size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;background_image_opacity&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;border_thickness&quot;:&quot;1px&quot;,&quot;full_height&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;bottom_margin&quot;:&quot;0px&quot;,&quot;cell_alignment&quot;:&quot;flex-start&quot;}\">\n<div id=\"pgc-31050-12-0\" class=\"panel-grid-cell\" data-weight=\"1\">\n<div id=\"panel-31050-12-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"12\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;background_image_size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;background_image_opacity&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;border_thickness&quot;:&quot;1px&quot;}\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-31187\" src=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/iNaturalist-Jahr-2025-5-1024x317.jpg\" alt=\"iNaturalist Year 2025\" width=\"840\" height=\"260\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/iNaturalist-Jahr-2025-5-1024x317.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/iNaturalist-Jahr-2025-5-300x93.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/iNaturalist-Jahr-2025-5-768x238.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/iNaturalist-Jahr-2025-5.jpg 1407w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"pg-31050-13\" class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;background_image_size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;background_image_opacity&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;border_thickness&quot;:&quot;1px&quot;,&quot;full_height&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;bottom_margin&quot;:&quot;0px&quot;,&quot;cell_alignment&quot;:&quot;flex-start&quot;}\">\n<div id=\"pgc-31050-13-0\" class=\"panel-grid-cell\" data-weight=\"1\">\n<div id=\"panel-31050-13-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"13\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;background_image_size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;background_image_opacity&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;border_thickness&quot;:&quot;1px&quot;}\">\n<div class=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\">\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n<p>In the summer, I encountered a woodlark for the first time in the D\u00f6beritzer Heide. Even though I didn\u2019t manage to get a perfect photo, I was still able to share the observation on iNaturalist. During this time, another first-time observation for me was a mourning cloak butterfly, which I also discovered in the summer.<\/p>\n<p>A very special highlight for me this year was the trip to see the sand martins. It was the first time I had the chance to observe these fascinating birds, so they naturally had to appear in the chart of newly added species.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the spring, I was in Sardinia, where I also made several first-time observations. These included, among others, an Italian wall lizard and numerous by-the-wind sailors that had washed up on the beach.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I was able to significantly increase my observations compared to the previous year\u2014a great motivation for the upcoming iNaturalist year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"pg-31050-14\" class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;background_image_size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;background_image_opacity&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;border_thickness&quot;:&quot;1px&quot;,&quot;full_height&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;bottom_margin&quot;:&quot;0px&quot;,&quot;cell_alignment&quot;:&quot;flex-start&quot;}\">\n<div id=\"pgc-31050-14-0\" class=\"panel-grid-cell\" data-weight=\"1\">\n<div id=\"panel-31050-14-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"14\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;background_image_size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;background_image_opacity&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;border_thickness&quot;:&quot;1px&quot;}\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-31188\" src=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/iNaturalist-Jahr-2025-6-1024x233.jpg\" alt=\"iNaturalist Year 2025\" width=\"840\" height=\"191\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/iNaturalist-Jahr-2025-6-1024x233.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/iNaturalist-Jahr-2025-6-300x68.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/iNaturalist-Jahr-2025-6-768x175.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/iNaturalist-Jahr-2025-6.jpg 1456w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"pg-31050-15\" class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;background_image_size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;background_image_opacity&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;border_thickness&quot;:&quot;1px&quot;,&quot;full_height&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;bottom_margin&quot;:&quot;0px&quot;,&quot;cell_alignment&quot;:&quot;flex-start&quot;}\">\n<div id=\"pgc-31050-15-0\" class=\"panel-grid-cell\" data-weight=\"1\">\n<div id=\"panel-31050-15-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"15\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;background_image_size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;background_image_opacity&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;border_thickness&quot;:&quot;1px&quot;}\">\n<div class=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\">\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n<p>The chart clearly shows that compared to the previous year, I recorded more first-time observations and documented a greater number of species overall.

year and made significant progress compared to the previous year. I was more diligent and was able to share more observations. I still need to be a bit more active in identifying species, though I prefer to focus on the species I know well\u2014ideally the ones in my familiar surroundings. This way, I can continue to improve my own species knowledge. The great thing about iNaturalist is that multiple users can verify an identification. Even if you make a mistake, there are other eyes to catch it. Still, I approach certain species cautiously to avoid spreading misinformation.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to learn more about my observations, you can find my profile
