- 1791: September 5, 1791 – Cut 107 cucumbers. Nectarines are finely flavoured, but eaten by bees, & wasps. Churn-owl is seen over the village: fly-catchers seem to be gone.
- 1790: September 5, 1790 – Boiled a mess of autumnal spinage, sown Aug. 3rs. Nep J. White left us, & returned to Sarum. There is a fine thriving oak near the path as you go to Combwood, just before you arrive at the pond, round which, at about the distance of the extremities of the boughs, may be seen a sort of circle in the grass, in which the herbage appears dry & withered, as if a fariy-ring was beginning. I remember somewhat of the same appearance at the same place in former years.
- 1787: September 5, 1787 – Stone-curlews pass over followed by their young, which make a piping, wailing noise.
- 1782: September 5, 1782 – The air is full of flying ants, & the hirundines fare luxuriously.
- 1777: September 5, 1777 – Sultry & gloomy. Wasps abound.
- 1776: September 5, 1776 – Some wasps on the wall-fruit. Where wasps gnaw a hole, the honey-bees come & suck the pulp. Al fruits are backward, watry, & bad.
- 1775: September 5, 1775 – Grey, spitting, bright & sultry, distant lightening. Wasps swarm.
- 1774: September 5, 1774 – Most people in Selborne begin picking their hops. Wheat housed all day.
- 1772: September 5, 1772 – Rain. Oats grow as they lie. Some wheat abroad. Bad for hop-picking. A strange yellow tint in the sky at sunset. Distant thunder & lightening in the evening.
- 1771: September 5, 1771 – Dark. Sun. Wheat pretty well cut-down. Soft & still.
