Birds. That one's been around for a long while. [Twitch, twitch!]

Last summer: bumblebees, butterflies and moths.

Likely this summer looks like including one, maybe more, of dragonflies, bats, hoverflies and soldierflies. I might just go back to my bees and butterflies. Mud puddling looks like a fascinating field of study.

Estuarine mudflats are also looking quite interesting. Just what are those birds eating? Are different waders eating different worm species from different depths? If so, which ones?

If you hear about someone drowning in mud on the Forth Estuary in Scotland, you know who it was.

All this is so much easier to deal with than humans.

Sharks. Specifically extinct species such as C. megalodon and C. auriculatus.

That's interesting. Not as interesting as some aspects of natural history as far as I'm concerned, but each to their own.

I spent several hours watching a dozen basking sharks (Cetorhinus maximus) off an island called Canna off the west coast of Scotland a few years ago. I hope to go back with a wetsuit and go and swim with them this summer.

On a more hazardous note, a marine biologist swears she saw a Great White (Carcaradon carcarius, off the top of my head) off the south coast of England a few years ago.

I'm somewhat in between special interests at the moment, I have a couple of things I enjoy doing, but I don't anything at the moment that's an all consuming interest.

The last thing I was obsessed with was Cubist Painting, but that's faded now.
