- 1791: June 4, 1791 – Saint foin blows, & the Stfoin fly Sphinx filipendula, appears. Rain at Emsworth. Fyfield sprung a fern-owl on the zig-zag which seemed confounded by the glare of the sun, & dropped again immediately. Mr. Bridger sends me a fine present of trouts caught in the stream down at Oakhanger. The distant hills look very blue in the evenings.

Apis longicornis works at it’s nest in the ground only in a morning while the sun shines on the walk. Earth-worms make their casts most in the mild weather about March & April: they do not lie torpid in winter, but come forth when there is no frost.
