Looking back on my childhood,I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made.
Although we were all brought up in the same way,my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects.Unlike them,I had no ear for music and languages.I was not an early reader and I could not do mental maths.
I have only the unmemorable memory of the house we lived in,of my room and my toys.Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents,aunts,uncles and cousins who gathered next door.But I do have a crystal clear memory of the dogs,the farm animals,the local birds,and above all the insects.
I am a naturalist,not a scientist.I have a strong love of the natural world,and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations.I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other people’s observations and discoveries.Then something happens that brings these observations together
