Cyprus Bird Watching Tours - BIRD is the WORD Tour 16/04/2018 Paphos
On the 16th I had the pleasure of Guiding April and Ian around the Paphos sites. There was only one target species: European Roller. We managed to find 4 during the tour with some good photo opportunities. We were even treated to one feeding another.
Highlight species were a female Pallid Harrier, Peregrine Falcon on territory with a Cyprus Scops Owl heard nearby, 4 Collared Pratincole flying low over Mandria for most of the time we spent there, Red-rumped Swallow coming down for nesting mud and a female Little Crake.
