Message: <blockquote data-quote="AlanR" data-source="post: 1514892" data-attributes="member: 49974">Ayr at LastOn Tuesday (- that's 16 June) I finally reached Ayr, a seaside town but not the same as Western-Super-Mare or Southen-on-Sea.I stayed there for six nights and spent many hours wandering round the promenade, the harbour and the river Ayr. So notes and pictures are not all strictly chronological for the next few entries.There were Gulls around the town and its environs and Black Guillemots in the Harbour - of which more later. The lower end of the River Ayr, passing through the town, always had large numbers of Mute Swans and a few Cormorants. Fortunately there were points where the Cormorants could dry out on nearby rocks knowing they were inaccessible and so safe.Pictures today are:The River Ayr and its first Bridge from the harbour area;The street where I stayed, showing its proximity to the sea;Two shots of a Cormorant in the river (two days apart but perhaps the same bird);The best shot I managed of a Black-headed Gull - at the Westmoreland Motorway Services on the way up North!Alan(I'm still working through the photos.)</blockquote>
