Cornix cinerea.  Flying over Faringdon heath.  The first grey crow that I ever saw in the district of Selborne.  They are common on the downs about Andover: about Winton, & Bagshot.  Most of the earth to be removed in levelling the garden is taken away in some places to the depth of 18 inches.  The continued rains much interrupt the work, & make it a nasty jobb.  The best mould is laid on the quarters of the garden, the clayey soil is wheeled into the meadow.
