Saw a snipe on the saltings, eating a piece of bread ; 
it has a very large bill, but is not a very large bird. 
Saw a duck in the water. 
Found a starling ; they are very pretty birds, with 
blue and green shades of colour on their backs. 
Saw two partridges in the marsh ; they are very 
pretty birds ; they make their nests in the 
marshes, of hay and bits of straw. 
Saw a kithearn ; they are very large birds, grey, with 
very long neck and large bill. 
A crocus came out in the garden ; weather very mild. 
Saw a hare run into its form ; it was not very large ; 
it must have been a young one. 
Saw a lot of rooks in the plantation, up in the trees, 
making an awful noise, about to make a nest. 
A lark came into the school ; it is a very little bird. 
I think it was frozen, but it is all right now. 
A little lamb was born at King’s Hill Farm. Very 
windy. 
Very rough wind blowing ; blew a tree down in the 
shrubbery. We had another crocus come out in 
the school garden. 
Saw a sparrow with its wing broken ; it is a pretty 
brown and black bird, not so very large. 
Saw an owl, when it was nearly dark ; it was Hying 
after some little birds. 
Saw a diver bird in the tide ; they are very timid ; at 
the slightest noise they will go down into the 
water out of sight. 
Wind blowing still ; it has blown two more trees 
down in the plantation, and broke nearly all the 
branches off. 
Three more lambs born ; very cold for them. 
One of the little lambs died ; the wind broke the 
school window. 
Saw the buds coming out on the trees ; some trees 
are in large green leaves. 
Father caught some eels in the tide; they are some- 
thing like a snake. 
Saw a linnet in one of our sheds ; it has a yellow 
breast. 
Saw a peewit ; they are not very large, with a white 
breast and a black back. 
Weather a liitle finer in the morning, but it began to 
rain in the afternoon ; very windy. 
Weather very mild ; sun shining brilliantly. 
Saw a lot of wild ducks in a ditch ; they are very 
pretty. 
Hard frost early in the morning, veiy cold and misty; 
but the sun came out about g in the morning, 
and then it was very warm.
