Parked down at the parking area at Lady Bay on the shores of Loch Ryan. If anyone is thinking of visiting this bay you should be advised that the track is steep and rough and best driven in a 4x4!
We walked part way back up the track to where we had seen a coastal path sign.
As usual on Loch Ryan there is plenty of Ferries coming and going to Northern Ireland, the first one being the P&O fast ferry coming from Larne to Cairnryan
We walked around the edge of a field where there was an abundance of ladybird larvae.
View towards Ailsa Craig
The footpath was difficult to follow despite the signs, we still had to climb walls and get over electric fences and ended up at a dead end and it started to rain! Time to gice up I think! We did see a very young roe deer hiding in the vorner of a field and these cows seemed pleased to see us!
The next ferry was the more traditional P&O ferry
Soon to be passed by the Stenaline HSS heading for Belfast
We headed back accross the field and caught a glimpse of a hare.
Back down at Lady Bay we had a wander to see what birds were about, the first being an Eider
A redshank
Plenty of noisy Oystercatchers as usual!
Ringed Plovers
And an Oystercatchers Egg...
...In a bit of a messy shell nest!
