I would like to share a personal experience.
Few years ago, while doing volunteer work in Cuba, I met a guy in his late 20s who spent the entire night (sunset until 05:00) watching a hole in a tree so that he could take a picture of this very rare insect (which was living in that hole) that is only found in Cuba. He was from Iceland on a research trip. While he was spending the evening focused on an insect inside the hole of a tree and discussing anthropology and history with me, everyone else was getting drunk on rum and dancing. There is nothing wrong with either choice.
