The Natural History of Selborne

Bull-finches feed on the berries of honey-suckles.  B. Hall came.

The children in strawberry time found & destroyed several pheasant’s nests in Goleigh wood.  Nep. and Niece Ben White came from London.

When the redbreasts have finished the currans, they begin with the berries of the honey-suckles, of which they are very fond.

Several golden-crowned wrens appear in the tall fir-tree at the upper end of Baker’s hill: they were probably bred in that tree.
