  • 1792: February 6, 1792 – Fairey-rings encrease on my grass-plot.
  • 1790: February 6, 1790 – The great titmouse, or sit-ye-down, sings.  One crocus is blown-out.  Insects abound in the air: bees gather much on the snowdrops, & winter-aconites.  Gossamer is seen streaming from the boughs of trees.
  • 1785: February 6, 1785 – Young sheep suffer much by the weather, & look poorly.
  • 1784: February 6, 1784 – Sowed 48 bushels of peat-ashes on the great meadow, which covered more than half.  31 bush: were bought of my neighbours.
  • 1778: February 6, 1778 – Ravens carry over materials & seem to be building.
  • 1776: February 6, 1776 – Part of the snow gone at Selborne.  It lay for many weeks in deep hollow lanes.
  • 1774: February 6, 1774 – Bees play much about their hives.
  • 1773: February 6, 1773 – Snow all melted in the morning.  Vast flocks of hen chaffinches.
  • 1772: February 6, 1772 – Hard frost, sunshine.  Deep snow covers the ground.  Beautiful winter-pieces.
  • 1771: February 6, 1771 – Frost, sun, fog, rain, sown.  Bunting twitters.
  • 1770: February 6, 1770 – Crocus vernus.  Hedge-sparrow, curruca, sings. Vast halo round the moon.
