6th July 1944. 

A wretched & disappointing day after a promising sunset on 5th & rising glass on morning of 6th;  but an east wind springing up at breakfast-time, forming a jam with drizzle.  Took 10.15 has to Malahide & went across ferry to The island & here collected in three areas till rain from NE. at 4.30 stopped collecting for the day, while drizzle at 2 hindered it for an hour & throughout the day the vegetation was never quite dry & with the chilly east wind made sweeping very difficult.

The Island, Co. Dublin.

1 = dunes from ferry along flat N & W of Tern colony to 1/2 mile N. of this & on sheltered side of outer dunes.  1 till 12.45
2 = same but further N. & after lunch.  1.15 to 2.0.
