  When I last visited the Farm on April 18 there
were no Bats in the loft over the wood shed. To-day
I found 12 there in a cluster in the usual place.
Judging by the quantity of dung on the floor beneath they
must have been there about a week.

  The Broad-winged Hawks are back in their usual
haunts at the Farm. I heard the [female] there this
afternoon and soon afterwards saw her soaring over
the river. Half an hour later I saw a bird which
I took to be the [male] although I was not sure it
was not the female. It was flying over the oak
woods near where the nest was last year, screaming.
Broad wing Hawks
  Deer are said to have been numerous of late.
Our farm hand, Harry Adams, saw two near
Bensen's house this morning. I found a fresh track
in the cart road behind Ball's Hill.
