[QUOTE="AlanR, post: 1516184, member: 49974"] [b]Last Day at Ayr[/b] I found a few little sites for Sunday, starting with [B]Loch Trabboch[/B] which I really enjoyed. At last some [B]Canada Geese[/B] and [B]Coot[/B] but lots of easily identifiable small passerines. Several [B]Willow Warbler[/B] and [B]Reed Bunting[/B] and dozens of [B]Sedge Warbler.[/B] I spent some time scanning carefully for Reed Warbler but all those I looked at were Sedge. Also here I watched a [B]Buzzard,[/B] seen off by a couple of [B]Crows[/B]. [U]Picture #1 - Sedge Warbler[/U]. A very short trip from here brought me to [B]Stair[/B]. I found my way down to the River where I watched a [B]Dipper[/B] for some time. [U]Picture #2 - Dipper[/U], not a good shot but much better than my attempts at Alloway. Another short drive brought me to [B]Loch Tarbolton[/B]. From the maps this looks like a few small lakes dredged from a large area of marshland to provide opportunities for anglers. More [B]Canada Goose[/B] here. Also [B]Mute Swan, Swallow, House Martin, Sedge Warbler, Reed Bunting, Pied Wagtail[/B] and the only [B]Blue Tit[/B] and [B]Great Tit[/B] I saw in Scotland - in the same tree! [U]Picture #3 - Canada Geese at Tarbolton.[/U] Finally a trip to the coast to [B]Barassie[/B], which I had somehow missed on my trips up and down. Nothing unexpected here but more [B]Shag, Eider[/B] and [B]Ringed Plover[/B]. Also a [B]Grey Heron[/B] and another [B]Curlew[/B] flew over. [U]Pictures #4 and 5 - Ringed Plover and Grey Heron.[/U] A good day to end my visit to Ayr. [B]Alan[/B] (2 more entries to come.) [/QUOTE]
