The Natural History of Selborne

Grey, gleams.  Snow gone.

The late rains have not had any influence yet on my well-water, which is very low, & foul.  Snow on the Sussex downs.

The young martins are out: one was found dead this morning in the parsonage garden.

The young martins not seen in their nest; dams about.

The young martins still in their nest; at least some of them.  Dr Chandler saw four hawking round the plestor.

The young martins remain.

There are now apparently three young martins in the nest nearly fledged.

Young martins, & their dams again.  Wood-cock on the down. Bro Ben, & wife, & Hannah left us, & went to Newton.

No young martins to be seen in the nest, nor old ones around it.

There are two young martins in the nest.
