Will Tanner thinks he saw in the high wood marks where a wood-cock had been boring.  Mr Barker, who rode this day to Rake, Rogate, & Furley-hill, saw much grass, & clover cut, & cutting.  Some barley out.

Several ring-ouzels on Nore hill.  Farmer Tull mows mill-mead, a second crop, which it is expected will prduce near 3 tuns on an acre.  Men mow also clover, hoping to get some hay at last.  Timothy the tortoise spends all the summer in the quarters of the kitchen-garden among the asparagus, &c. but as soon as the first frosty mornings begin, he comes forth to the laurel-hedge, by the side of which he spends the day, & retires under it at night; ’till urged by the encreasing cold he buries himself in Novr amidst the laurel-hedge.

The dripping weather has lasted this day nine weeks, all thro’ haying, & harvest: much hay is also spoiled of the second cutting: so that men, having lost both crops, will in many parts be very short of fodder, especially, as turnips have missed in many places.
