Very well then, let boredom settle in.
It has been a very early year in general, phenologically, with an extremely dry spring (and it's still very dry! water and swamp plants are the only ones with a backlog, and how should they grow in those ponds which still are dry); it does remind me of the years 2007 and 2008 when we had very hot summers. So if this is supposed to have any significance then we're probably in for some hot and dry weeks and months where the Lobau 'hot lands' might again look like dry steppes, which they didn't really in 2009 and 2010.
