- 1791: September 29, 1791 – A gale rises every morning at ten o’ the clock & falls at sunset.
- 1789: September 29, 1789 – Swallows not seen: they withdraw in bad weather, & perhaps sleep most of their time away like dogs & cats, who have a power of accululating rest, when the season does not permit them to be active.
- 1788: September 29, 1788 – Mr Churton left us. T.H. White came from Fyfield.
- 1787: September 29, 1787 – Vast flock of ravens on the down.
- 1784: September 29, 1784 – Took possession of Selborne curacy.
- 1783: September 29, 1783 – Gathered-in the apples, knobbed russets, & non-pareils. Royal russets none. All the baking pears were blown down. No dearlings.
- 1782: September 29, 1782 – It is remarkable that this wet cold weather produces no good mushrooms. A great plenty of the pale, coarse sort appeared early in the autumn, but I have seen none with the salmon-coloured laminae, wich are the only edible sort.
- 1781: September 29, 1781 – My well has now only three feet in water: it has never been so low, since my father sunk it, more than forty years ago.
- 1778: September 29, 1778 – Herrings come into season. The after-grass in this grazing-country is very short, & scanty.
- 1776: September 29, 1776 – Nothing left abroad but seed-clover, & a few beans.
- 1774: September 29, 1774 – Hops in some places not yet gathered. Grapes begin to be good: the crop is scanty, & the branches & berries small.
- 1773: September 29, 1773 – Multitudes of martins, but I think not many swallows. Grapes are eatable, but not curious yet; are damaged by the wasps.
- 1771: September 29, 1771 – Woodcock, Scolopax, appears early. Glow-worms shine.
- 1769: September 29, 1769 – Swallows and martins all the way on the downs.
- 1768: September 29, 1768 – Swallows cluster on the bushes in the barnet. Redstart.
