1891
Aug. 11.  
Warwick. Startford-on-Avon. England.
  Cloudy all day but no rain. Very cool.
  Started for Stratford at 10 A.M. in landeau. Very pretty
drive of 10 miles. On reaching the park where Shakespere killed
his deer we left the carriage and walked across, about a half a
mile. Park of usual character extensive lawn with elms (grand
old trees) in single and double rows. A large herd of Fallow 
Deer the majority of the "black" variety, and about 20 Red Deer,
nearly all stags with fine horns.  They trotted off when we came
within 100 yards, reminding me forcibly of Elk. On the edge of
a piece of cover I stopped to watch a young Rabbit, when a Stoat
ran out within 2 yards of it but did not seem to see it. I
squeaked and the Stoat ran directly towards me a few yards.
Dinner at Shakespere Inn in Stratford. Thence to birthplace,
Anne Hathaway's cottage, and church. Back to Warwick by a dif-
ferent road in P.M. Yellowhammers singing freely; nothing else.
Saw a Kestrel in park.
