Cyprus 26 - Day 18

Left at 6.30 arriving at 8. Clear but cold (6c), hence the lone assault. Not many about which was great but that applied to the Birds also! I gave it a good go for 3 hours and added Jay (c10), Coal Tit, Pallid Swift and Blackbird to the Trip List. Do Short-toed Treecreepers really exist? You can only look at so many Tree Trunks!

After lunch we headed for Agia Varvara. Definitely warming up here now and reaching my upper threshold. A pleasant session turned up...

Turtle Dove TT
Roller
Collared Flycatcher
Redstart male 
Great-Spotted Cuckoo

Decent.

No luck still with Crakes. I intend to concentrate my efforts in the morning. I'm hoping to connect with Little Bittern and Great Reed Warbler also. Both would be Cyprus Ticks.

Another Phone Blog today as we're out for a meal tonight.

Stay tuned...

Trip Total - 146
