Birding Group Visit to Point of Ayr 12th February 2013
We planned this visit to coincide with a high tide (10 metres) and we thought that if we arrived at the viewing site by an hour bebore this we would be well in position to observe the tide come in. Unfortunately , even before we got to the new hide, it was clear that the tide was already a long way in. If I had read my notes for our previous visit there I would have noticed that you need to be there two hours before ! Oh well, I wasn’t the only one who thought an hour before would be good enough so we all learned a lesson. Be that as it may, it did not mean that we did not get some good sightings.
