Cyprus Bird Watching Tours - Full day tour - Akrotiri with Tomas et al 19/10/21
We decided to visit Zakaki Marsh next and have our lunch in the hide there.
The ONly bird of note here was possibly another Black-winged Kite mobbing a Marsh Harrier.
Lastly we ventured to Kensington Cliffs where we got good views of 3 Griffon Vulture, many Eleonora's Falcons including juveniles and a lone Peregrine Falcon.
