June 28. Chester
  A dark lowering day with
occasional showers. Did not go
out from morning to night
the entire time being spent
in writing up my notes and
packing. Herad Jackdaws 
calling somewhere behind the
house. A cricket chirping
in the back yard - the only
one I have heard in England,
its voice the same as our
house crickets'[.]
June 29. Chester to Hereford
  Most of the day sunny with clearer
air and sky than I have seen before
in England. Clouds gathering in late P.M.
with light showers.
  Chester to Hereford 11:10 A.M. to 1:45 P.M.,
Great Western R. R. Country rolling and
varied with several rapid streams and
clusters of hills, some upwards of 1600 ft.
Saw one stretch of oak, larch & spruce woods
fully 5 m. long. Road mostly bordered
by mowing fields & meadow pastures.
Birds in great numbers chiefly Rooks
& Starlings. Lapwings in meadow pastures.
Moor Hen on turf near pond. 1 Partridge &
1 Heron. Skylarks & Yellow Hammers
common. Apple orchards with their
foliage. English Elms & Oaks.
  Green Dragon, Hereford for night.
