A short trip down to Lady Bay on the shores of Loch Ryan. A Lapland Bunting and a strange Warbler had been reported during the week. The track down gets rougher each time we go but its usually worth it. Our first sight was of the mess in the carpark, remains of campfires, rubbish, broken glass, cans etc. they had even left their frying pan and cooking oil.
The morons that left this should be tied to a stake when the tide is out and left for the tide to come in, preferably when the HSS ferry is due!
