A discussion about the Memory Code or how we memorise our environment might be interesting. I have never kept notebooks/diaries, but memorise the plants & everywhere that I go regularly.
That is one of the things the author uses it to remember birds and other things. Plus she is slowly building more information on that.
If you have University access you can read her PhD thesis which is Memory Code and then buy Memory Craft which is the follow on book and more about her memory learning experience.
The problem with most memory books is they are trying to solve specific problems or relate to memory the sport. Dominic O'Brien's first book is the best I have read so far of that sort book.

Hmmmm. Everyone seems to be reading Bc associated stuff.
I am usually reading four or more things at once I tend to take a long time to finish any one book! I am of course seriously retired and don’t enjoy much TV.

My Weekly Magazine NS and a couple of monthlies like NT and Broadleaf.

I always have a lightweight romance on hand. You can only do so much serious reading and what’s wrong with enjoying some gentle affection. Storm Shelter is a collection Regency short stories by various writers around the time of Bonaparte’s escape.

Then there will almost certainly be some metaphysics or philosophy - currently a very lightweight take on Nietzsche. I love his statement: “I would only believe in a God who knows how to dance.”

Then something that challenges or widens belief - I’m digging back through some old pamphlets by published by a Druid order.

But:
I did find this in Dorchester recently:

Written in 1926 so attitudes and border issues are very different from now.
This edition is 2019, hence the isbn.

I've got through Godkiller by Hannah Kaner and Artifact Space by Miles Cameron, neither of which really gripped me. Now I'm on Elantris by Brandon Sanderson which immediately had me hooked.

Nothing bushcraft related or even non fiction.
