16th Oct. 1938

Owing to bad weather at mid-week I was not out till this date, on which, being Sunday, I was on duty in Museum in afternoon.

A very fine day, but strong W. wind, after a similar day on Saturday;  but rain (a little) at night.  Vegetation very wet & did not collect.  In morning drove to Phoenix Park with Daisy & spent a couple of hours there basking.  Saw many Vespa vulgaris [[juvenile symbol, juvenile symbol]] & I think [[male symbol, male symbol]], the latter flying high & wild round the trees.  Also saw a flock of Swallows at foot of the Furry Glen about 12 noon.
