The Natural History of Selborne

Multitudes of martins, but I think not many swallows.  Grapes are eatable, but not curious yet; are damaged by the wasps.

Stoparola, flycatcher, still appears.

Gathered the last nectarines: very good.  Large aurora: very vivid in the S.W.

Much barley abroad.  Wet fit ever since the first of Sepr.  Wall-fruit fine still.

Wh. frost, showers.

Stormy, with rain, sun, shower, windy.

Linnets begin to congregate: they feed on the seeds of centaurea jacea.

Gathered first grapes: small but good.  Last wheat housed.

Young swallows come out.  Barley & oats housed.  Some wheat out still.

Young swallows in nest.  Hops very ordinary: very small.
