Potatoes for the first time.  Thierteen swifts over the Lythe: seven at Harteley.  Do they not at this season move from village to village?  The hay is all badly spoiled; & men begin to fear that the wheat will grow as it stands.  That which is lodged is in much danger.  A fledged young swift was found alive on the ground in the church-yard:  it was full of hippoboscae.  We gave it two or three flies, & tossed it up on the church.  Gathered one handful of kidney beans.  The ground is quite glutted with rain.
