Cyprus 26 - Day 3

Out tonight for an Indian, so I'm posting early from Spiro's Pool, Larnaca. We're treating ourselves after a flat tyre situation yesterday evening and this morning! 

Why am I out East? Well, I've just added my third Cyprus Tick in 3 days! Namely Red-necked Phalarope...

Cyprus 219

Other Species seen included Greater Flamingo, Spur-winged Plover, Ruff (c70)...


Reeve

Temmincks Stint, Little Stint, Wood Sandpiper...

...Marsh Harrier, Black-headed Wagtail...

and Cyprus Wheatear.

As I left I came across a pair of courting Spur-winged Plovers by the roadside. They looked superb amongst the grasses...


The rains have completely transformed Sites, making various habitats far more conducive to Birds. The temperatures have been excellent for Birding, ranging between 14 and 18c. Louise is hoping for a slight improvement which will undoubtedly come...I hope!! Happy Days!
