Conditions: - clear; NW wind; moderate temperature.
Birds are very scarce, nothing being seen
along the mole, the tide being high both in the
morning and evening.
In the evening I rode across on the
stern of the boat; the only birds observed
were several distant gulls.
On a roof close to the window where I
work in the city, I noted a male and
a female Passer domesticus. The former
was hopping about chirping with wings
outspread half spread and fluttering. The
female would chase him about a bit,
but finally she lost interest in him and
flew off! He immediately quit chirping
and watched her flight, and after a
minute or so departed himself.
