In one of those "we are stupid and so are people" items on the interest it asked "What is a naturalist?"
It answered its own question:
"A naturalist is someone who studies and observes nature, but not necessarily in a lab coat or with a PhD. They’re people who pay attention to the living world, whether that’s birds in their back garden or fungi in the local park. You don’t need fancy qualifications, just genuine interest and the willingness to actually look at what’s around you.
"It’s really about developing a relationship with nature through observation and understanding. Naturalists learn to recognise patterns, identify species, and understand how different parts of ecosystems connect. They’re the people who notice when the swifts arrive in summer, or can tell you why certain mushrooms only appear after rain."
It left out that naturalists get no recognition or reward and do all the dirty work that Zoologists then use to get...recognition, rewar5ds and grants!
