Creator Transcript
  • They were resting + feeding on the hummocky ground at the base of the hills. We walked about 15 miles, were rained on frequently but had a thoroughly enjoyable day. Home by 9:30 + saw my first black cock en route. Aug [August] 17 Tynron. Sunday + went to church. Jack [McWilliams] preached a good sermon to 17 people including the choir of 2. He seems to have lost interest in much of the more personal work of the parish + but for Alice [McWilliams] it would not get done. In the afternoon Garry [Cowan] + I went with Arthur Duncan + his children Andrew 6 + Kathrine 14. We drove up to the head of the Glen with Mrs D [Duncan] + made arrangements for her to meet us at 615 at the head of another glen. Unfortunately [Arthur] Duncan took a wrong turning + it was 11:30 before we were all reunited + dinner was stowed. Blackcock. [underlined] Up the glen we flushed a gray hen with covey of 4 + a single gray hen. They favor the alder [word crossed out] bracken + juncus areas of the valley bottoms. Saw my first water ouzel as well as many meadow pipit. The blackcock declined sharply in 1936 + are only just recovering.
