July 12 Tintagil to Camelford
  A perfect day, clear, warm, with
just enough breeze to dimple the
tender blue sea.
  After breakfast started with C. & E. R. S.
for the point opposite the Castle reaching
which I left them and descended
to the rocks beyond, then crossed
the coombe to the Castle and getting
the key ascended to the top. The
ruins very interesting. Many birds
but no Choughs.
  Returned to lunch at 2.30 P.M.
After lunch wrote for two hours.
At 6 P.M. started for Camelford
which we reached at 7.30.
After tea walked down the road
and out into the fields with E. R. S.
finally perching on a stile to watch
the sun set. A big rookery in
the elms along the brook below us.
About 1000 Rooks & Jackdaws assembled
here to roost.
  July 13 Camelford to St. Ives.
Another clear, still & very warm
day. Left Camelford at 9.15 for
Bodmin (12 M.) by the regular coach
which proved a wagonette drawn by
a large & wonderfully powerful chestnut
horse. The sun burnt like fire, there
was no shade & we as well as the
horse were beset by swarms of large
flies something like our greenheads
but of a nearly uniform grayish
color. Skylarks & Yellow Hammers
were the characteristic birds. Saw one
Jay in a plantation flitting from
tree to tree along the road.
  At 12 took train at Bodmin for
Bodmin Road Station then changing
to main line for St. Erth when we
changed again for St. Ives which
we reached at 2.30. Lunched at
Tregenna Castle Hotel when Mrs. S[?]
joined us. After lunch walked down
beautiful glen to our lodgings at
Mrs. Williams.
