Soft day. Bunting sings. A snipe appears on the high downs among the wheat. Royston crow. Skylark sings.

The sheep on the downs are very ragged & their coats much torn: the shepherds say they tear their fleeces with their own mouths, & horns: & that they are always in that way in mild wet winters, being teized & tickled with a kind of lice.

The bunting, emberiza alba, appears in great flocks about Bradley. Linnets congregate in vast flocks, & make a kind of singing as they sit on trees. Rooks resort to their nest-trees. Hepaticas, winter-aconite, wall-flowers, daiseys, polyanths, black hellebores blow. Wheat looks well on ye downs.
