Martins congregate on the weather-cock, & vane of the may-pole. The boys brought me their first wasps nest from Kimber’s; it was near as big as a gallon. When there is no fruit, as is remarkably the case this year, wasps eat flies, & suck the honey from flowers, from ivy blossoms, & umbellated plants: they carry-off also flesh from butcher’s shambles.
