Wood strawberries begin to ripen.  Hay makes well.  Cock great part of the hay in very large cock.  Many young bank-martins seem to be flown in the forest.  The old ones carry dragon-flies into their nests to their young.

Hay makes well.  Flocks of lapwings on the common.  After breeding they forsake the moory places, & take to the high grounds.

Ricked my St foin, five jobbs, into a large cock.  It has suffered less than could be expected.  Has lost it’s smell.  Is got full of coarse grass.
