Some barley abroad that has been cut a month. Earwigs cast their skins & come forth white. 10 or 12 ring-ouzels appear on their autumn migration round Noar hill. Martins are seldom seen at any distance from neighbourhoods. They feed over waters or under the shelter of an hanging wood. Swallows often hawk about on naked downs & fields, even in very windy seasons at a great distance from houses.

Multitudes of martins, but I think not many swallows. Grapes are eatable, but not curious yet; are damaged by the wasps.
