Joining the Bird group for the walk around the headland certainly paid off! Nice to see some familiar faces from last winter. I also gleaned some excellent local tips regarding sites and access.
The birds...
Alpine Swift 2
Ruppell's Warbler 2
Cretzschmar's Bunting 3
Tawny Pipit
Short-toed Lark 8
Woodlark
Blue-headed Wagtail
Hoopoe 3
PLUS a Cyprus MEGA...Gannet!!! A tick for many of the stalwarts.
Not a bad 3 hours in glorious sunshine walking among a carpet of wildflowers.
I'll add more meat to my tales on return.
The afternoon involved a trip to Mav' Dam to twitch Tufted Duck! A Great crested Grebe was present and Cyprus Wheatear and Warbler were seen well.
On the way back we stopped at a Gosney site for Scops Owl and heard the familiar sound.
Back to Zakaki first thing tomorrow to look at more reeds...and maybe a Baillon's Crake?
Trip total 113
