  • 1791: February 25, 1791 – Mr Edmd White took down my Barometer, & cleaned tube, & frame.  It had not been meddled with for just 18 years, when my Bror John also took it down.
  • 1790: February 25, 1790 – Cabbage sprouts come in.  Both the pullets of last summer lay.
  • 1775: February 25, 1775 – Honey-bees, & many dipterous insects abound.  Frogs croak in ponds.  A pair of house-pigeons, which were hatched at Mich: last, now have eggs, & sit.  An instance of early fecundity!
  • 1768: February 25, 1768 – The missel-thrush, turdus viscivorus major (called in Hants & Sussex the stormcock) sings.
