In the hedges bordering my fields I met with several pairs of Ring necked Pheasants + but several had killed more. They fly slowly but before I could get clear of the bushes they were well out of range. I only wounded those 2 shots. Weather very windy + partly cloudy like yesterday with a few rain drops at intervals. 24 In the morning drove out with the new hunter for Saron. He sent his dogs up the mountain + I & the old hunter waited below but. The dogs flushed no game. Some of the village boys brought let 758 Magpies which they caught in a cove. Screm Papistrellus. Many shepherds with their flocks occupy the plain near the village. Their sheep are all black ones with only three or four white ones. They wear on their heads long black woolen cloaks like topaz deplores. Their dogs are collies.
