Cyprus Bird Watching Tours - BIRD is the WORD - Tour - Akrotiri + Paphos 22/03/201

On the 22nd I guided Terry Thomas around the Akrotiri and Paphos sites. We started out early at Akrotiri, visiting Zakaki Marsh first. The birds were tough work here aside a large group of Little Egret roosting in the tall eucalyptus trees at the back. We had brief views of Eurasian reed Warbler and Sedge Warbler, a few penduline Tits called though we was unable to find them. Cetti's warbler and Lesser Whitethroat showed briefly in a tamarisk bush and a Common Swift was feeding above the hide. As we left the site a Common Kingfisher swooped in a showed nice and close but was reluctant to perch. As we approached the car a Savi's Warbler sounded from across the road, but it wouldn't show.
Ladies Mile must had seen a huge clear out over night as there was literally only 4 gulls in the area, all Armenian with a single Black-headed Gull hiding near the port. 2 Greater Flamingo were on the pools and a few Little Egret, but that was all. We saw a large flock of Greater Flamingo flying along the coast as well as a small group of Grey Heron in the distance.
By the port we had excellent views of a Tawny Pipit and a small party of Greater Short-toed Lark. Also we watched a stunning male Black Francolin which was a target species. Also a few Hoopoes showed very well close to the car.

Many Lesser Whitethroats later (and a brief view of a Common Whitethroat) we headed for the Gravel Pits where we had lengthy views of another Black Francolin and brief flight views of a male and female. Along the coastal point there was huge rafts of a mixed flock of Garganey, Pintail, Northern Shoveler and a few Mallard. The numbers of the flocks must have exceeded 7-8,000 easy! And to the left we got to witness some of the best of the Painted Lady migration currently in progress, seeing hundreds at a time swarm low continuously. What a spectacle!
Along this stretch we had a few Northern and Isabelline Wheatears along with a Cyprus Wheatear.
At a wetland area nearby we was treated to some waders. Many Green Sandpiper, Marsh Sandpiper, a single Wood Sandpiper and Greenshank and maybe over 15 Common Snipe with plenty of Little Ringed Plover being very vocal and displaying.

Kensington Cliffs was the next destination where we had amazing views of Alpine Swift swooping near our heads. 3 Griffon Vultures were showing well on the cliff and we had another come in and land, which had obviously just been feeding as its face was blood-stained.
Our next site was to be Anarita Park as Finsch's Wheatear was the other target species. Sadly they had left, likely the night before (with the winter clearout) but we had great views of Cretzschmar's Bunting, Corn Bunting, Northern, Isabelline, Cyprus and Eastern Black-eared Wheatear, Little Owl, Cyprus Warbler (both male and female) and 2 Great Spotted Cuckoos harrassing the Magpies. A pair of Red-rumped Swallow were hanging around their nesting tunnel providing incredible views.

Our last stop was Mandria where we saw a few Laughing Doves, another Black Francolin showing well, A Stone Curlew and many Yellow Wagtails including the "superciliaris" intergrade. No sign of the Lesser Short-toed Lark and Bimaculated Lark that I had found the previous days.
Despite the winter clearout we still managed 80 species for the day, but very unfortunate with the Finsch's Wheatear.

Cyprus Bird Watching Tours - BIRD is the WORD - Tour - Paphos 15/03/2019

On the 15th I guided Judy and Sheldon around Paphos. The weather was not forecast to be on our side and so I knew it was going to be tricky birding.
We started at the headland where there was a quite a few groups of Yellow-legged Gull and also a Heuglin's Gull among them. Corn Bunting were singing from inside the fence area and we got to scope a few. As we walked further down
we got great scoped views of 2 Great Spotted Cuckoos sitting on the low shrub, and one was chased towards us by a Magpie which flew meters above our heads. Judy said this was already her star bird of the day.
The coast held no shorebirds, but we did see a small flock of Garganey migrating along the coast. The Meadow + Red-throated pipits and skylarks were unsettled on the ground, the wind and rain picked up and so we left the site, seeing a pair of Common Kestrels mating in the fort window just before we got in the car.
Our next stop was the Sewage Plant where many Spur-winged Lapwing were on show. We had great views of a Hoopoe on a powerline and also got good views of a Red-throated pipit in the tree. A Robin showed fairly well too and song thrush were in large numbers darting from tree to tree. A small party of hirundines were feeding over an alfalfa field, with a few red-rumped swallows among them.
After a short stop at Timi seeing Northern Wheatear, a Sparrowhawk and a pair of Chukar nice and close we headed to Mandria and was treated to a sunny spell. At the western entrance there was many hirundines and even an Alpine Swift among them. We got great views of a Laughing Dove and a very showy and sleepy Stone Curlew.
We continued along the coast, small groups of Linnet were feeding in the sand bowl and also a pair of Isabelline Wheatears. We had a Common Kestrel hovering just above the car at a few sections and managed some great views of a male sitting on a shower pipe.
A lone juvenile shag was sitting on the rocks out at sea, and moments later we saw an adult in flight low over the water. As we were leaving we managed to see a male Black Francolin showing incredibly well by the side of the road.
After grabbing some drinks at a cafe we moved on to Asprokremnos dam where a male Blue Rock thrush was showing in the distance and 3 Hoopoes showing close in the trees and on the ground. A large group of Grey Herons were over the water flying towards us and eventually over the dam wall. We stopped here to have our lunch.
We then moved on to Anarita masts which held nothing and by which time the weather had taken a turn for the worst again, this time with thunderstorms. We went to Anarita park but due to the weather and hail there wasn't much to see aside woodlark, and so we called it a day a few hours early, managing 48 species on a wet and stormy day.

Cyprus Bird Watching Tours - BIRD is the WORD - Half day Tour - Paphos 08/03/2019

On the 8th I guided Lesley and Bill around the Paphos sites for a half day tour.
We started at the Paphos Headland for Greater Sand Plover, seeing a very smart adult male Wheatear in the car park en-route. We arrived at the corner point, and spotted a Little Ringed Plover near the sea. The Greater Sand Plover were on the south side of the point and all in a line. Their plumage had advanced quite a bit since last seeing them, they were looking very smart. One of them seemed quite small in comparison to the others and also had a bit of an odd white eye ring, maybe a different race. A Golden Plover was staying close to them with some black on the breast starting to show. They got rattled and flew further back along the coast and joined a single Turnstone. As we walked back we was treated to great close views of Red-throated Pipit, some with great plumage, and also a Corn Bunting landed next to us and foraged through the vegetation some meters away. I heard a Great Spotted Cuckoo call from the archaeological grounds, and soon enough I managed to locate it and get it on the scope. Then a Red-rumped Swallow flew low over us providing great views, result!

Our next site was the sewage plant for Spur-winged Lapwings. We must have seen about 20 of them, with two that briefly copulated infront of the car. A Hoopoe showed well under some olive trees in a tiny patch of sunlight shining through, just meters from the car. A huge flock of Serin was moving around the alfalfa fields, flocks of well over 100 each. As we approached the plant, there was a few birds around a puddle, a Song Thrush and a Bluethroat! As we approached the puddle the Bluethroat darted off not to be seen again, though we heard its calls. A water pipit landed infront of the puddle with a red-throated pipit briefly.
Our last site was anarita park for Finsch's Wheatear, which we got great views of and also the Little Owl posed nicely on the rocks and we had another fly by infront of us. We got some great views of Cyprus Warbler, both male and female, though we couldn't locate the chukar that were calling. We did get a great view of a Sling-tailed agama sunning itself on a rock.
A very productive half day tour totaling 51 Species.

Cyprus Bird Watching Tours - BIRD is the WORD - Half day Tour - Paphos 28/02/2019

On the 28th I guided John, Jane and ken on a half day tour around Paphos.
We started at the Headland in hope of seeing the scarce Desert Wheatear seen some days ago. It was near enough the first bird that we saw and provided incredibly close views at times. A great start. The winds increased at this point to about 20-30mp/h making the walk along the coast a bit chilly. It seemed to have affected the birds as we didn't manage to see any of the shorebirds usually present, though we had great close views of Common Stonechat, Crested Lark, Meadow Pipit and Red-throated Pipit. As we headed back to the car we had lengthy views of a Corn Bunting foraging in the grassy area near the fort.

Our next stop was the Sewage Plant. Here we had incredibly good close views of a recently arrived Eurasian Hoopoe foraging under the Olive trees. There was a huge swarm of Serin feeding in the alfalfa fields, a small party landed near us on the road with others nearby in an olive tree. Past the plant there was around 20 Spur-winged Lapwing showing close but looking very tired with many resting on one leg.
As we was leaving the site I noticed a large raptor in the sky, a 1st plumage Bonelli's Eagle, distant but nice to see.

We continued to Anarita Park for Finsch's Wheatear and Cyprus Warbler. Due to the wind the Cyprus Warblers did not show well, though we had fleeting and obstructed views. We found 2 male Finsch's Wheatears, the first being very shy but the second showing very well. Then we spotted an Isabelline Wheatear terrorize what we think was a caterpillar not far from the car. Near the firing range we had lengthy views of a small party of Woodlark at the side of the road, one was probing through the gravel looking for seed. Our last bird of the day was a Little Owl posing nicely on a boulder, bringing the half day total to 40 species.

Cyprus Bird Watching Tours - BIRD is the WORD - Tour - Paphos & Akrotiri 21/02/2019

On the 21st I guided Lisa and John around the Akrotiri and Paphos sites. We started in Akrotiri with Greater Flamingos in mind. Unfortunately there was only a few birds feeding near the coast, likely reduced numbers due to disturbance in the area. But we got great views of the few that were there.
We was looking through the gulls when an Arctic Sku flew low over the car, a very scarce bird for Cyprus. We watched it as it flew down the coast and rested in the sea for a while, though as I drove down for closer views it vanished, briefly re-appearing and then losing it again. Only the second I have ever seen in Cyprus and a lifer for both Lisa and John.
We proceeded to look through the gulls and found a few Armenian, Slender-billed and Mediterranean Gull. Moving on to Zakaki there was a few Temminck's stint on the pool across the road from the hide.

From the hide we had many good views of Marsh Harrier hunting and a Sparrowhawk harrassing a hooded crow. We had very good views of Penduline Tits out in the open but failed to see the few Moustached Warbler that were singing. A reed warbler showed very briefly.
On the way to Bishops pool a Common Buzzard was sitting out in the open showing very well and during a brief stop next to the salt lake a Common Kestrel swooped down and grabbed something from the ground in close proximity to the car. Bishop's Pool was again unusually short of waterfowl for this time of year. We did manage to see quite a few Ferruginous Ducks here though. We did manage to spot a Green Tree Frog which proceeded to hide in a shrub.

Lisa had an interest in Orchids so we entered part of the Gravel Pits to find some of the special species in flower at the moment. We found a decent selection of species including two of our endemic: Kotschyi and Elegans.
As we left the site we spotted a Cyprus Warbler sitting in the top of a low shrub next to the road, which provided good views at times. I suspect it was a recent arrival as this is not one of their territories.
We then headed to Phassouri seeing many finches at the entrance as well as some Common Swift ... with a few Alpine Swifts among them. We tried looking for the Black-bellied Sandgrouse that was seen recently here but was unsuccesful. A small party of Starlings were airborn and we later saw them all perched in a Eucalyptus tree. We got great views of a Marsh Harrier perched on some dead wood here.
We decided to have our lunch at Kensington cliffs whilst watching the Griffon Vultures. There was only one in view at first but shortly after we had 4 of them flying extremely close to us ... eye level.

As we returned to Paphos, we scouted Mandria which held surprisingly little, though we did see a Laughing Dove. We headed to Timi after in hope of catching an Isabelline Wheatear but they seemed to be vacant from both sites.
Our final stop was the Sewage Works for Spur-winged Lapwing. One flew in and landed next to the car as did a second. A red-throated pipit flew overhead calling and a few Meadow pipit were at a puddle. A small group of Corn Bunting showed well in a bare pecan tree and moments later joined by a male Spanish Sparrow.
We ended the day by the pomegranate orchard to get good views of Serin which didn't disappoint.
We managed 63 species for the day

Cyprus Bird Watching Tours - BIRD is the WORD - Tour - Akrotiri 12/02/2019

On the 12th I guided Jane and Mike around the Akrotiri sites. We started at Zakaki where we was treated to decent views of the many Penduline Tits that were feeding on the reed seed. Moustached Warblers were moving around and we had good clear views of them at times as well as the Eurasian Reed Warbler that arrived early in Cyprus late last month. We also managed good views of Cetti's Warblers sitting still in the reeds and singing away for prolonged periods of time.
Moving on to Ladies Mile we had great views of a small group of Greater Flamingo, they were sleeping at first but were woken up by a helicopter passing over. There was hundreds of Black-headed Gulls on show but we couldn't find any slender-billed gulls among them, which was odd as there was an increase in numbers of them the previous day. Behind the restaurant we had great close views of Armenian and Caspian Gull plus a single Yellow-legged Gull.
Moving closer to the salt lake an Isabelline Wheatear showed well and a small group of Serin and Linnet were feeding on the ground next to it.

Our next site was Bishop's Pool. We was greeted by many song thrush and blackbird darting across the road at the entrance. As we approached the Lake a male Black Francolin edged out from the side of the path meters from the car and showed well for nearly a minute.
Species were thin on the lake, only Ferruginous Duck, Common Teal, Common Coot, Little Grebe and a few Mallard. A Water rail called and climbed up the bank showing very briefly. Reed Warbler and Moustached Warbler were moving in the reeds here.

Jane and Mike were interested in the flora too and was delighted to see Ophrys Flavomarginata here and enjoy some wild asparagus. I decided to show them the special area for orchids near here of which we saw Ophrys Sicula, Levantina, Elegans (Endemic) and Orchis Syriaca. Also plenty of Anemone Coronaria's and Romulea Tempsykana's (sand crocus) were growing here.
A quick check of the gravel pits didn't produce any birds but we did see many Himantoglossum Robertianum and Ophrys Iricolor here.
We decided to eat our lunch at the Phassouri Marsh hide as it was raining quite heavily at this point. There we saw many Teal and a Ferruginous duck as well as a Marsh Harrier and fleeting glimpse of a Common Kingfisher. Penduline Tits were calling but we couldn't manage to see any.
As we left the area we had a Common Buzzard perched eye level on a fence meters from the car which surprisingly didn't fly off straight away.
Our next destination was the Kensington Cliffs. As we arrived, a migrating flock of Great Cormorant were passing overhead. Shags were on the rocks and we managed scoped views of Griffon Vultures perched on the cliffs which were not flying much, probably due to the weather. We tried our luck going in land for Cyprus Warbler and hopefully some early migrants but the weather wasn't very accommodating and nothing was showing.
We finished the day with 56 species.

Cyprus Bird Watching Tours - BIRD is the WORD - Tour - Paphos + Akrotiri 11/02/2019

On the 11th I guided Jimmy around the Paphos and Akrotiri Sites. We started out at the headland for Greater Sand Plover, one of the four present there before was starting to change into summer plumage which was nice to see, a Common Sandpiper showed well as did the European Golden plover though no sign of the Turnstone or long staying whimbrel. There seemed to be less numbers on the ground today, athough we still got good views of Crested, Eurasian Skylark, Meadow Pipit and Red-throated Pipit as well as many finches inc. Linnet. There seemed to be more Corn Bunting in the area singing as well as the large flock of Common Starling.
Heading through the Sewage Plant we saw many Spur-winged Lapwing with one providing great photo opportunities. The Grey wagtail was showing well too, as was a large group of various finches (chaffinch, greenfinch, goldfinch, serin and spanish sparrow) and a very showy woodlark singing away. We got a single cattle egret on the far western entrance.
Moving on to Anarita Park we located a Peregrine Falcon on a pylon, Little Owl on its nesting boulder and 2 male Finsch's Wheatear, the latter showing well quite close on some Spiny Shrub. We couldn't locate the Blue Rock Thrush but got cracking views of Cyprus Warbler, which showed out in the open often for long periods. There was a few more Cyprus Warblers that had arrived in the area since my last visit. Chukar Partridge were plenty calling away and sitting on nearby rocks throughout the site.

We then headed to Mandria after a quick detour to the entrance to Agia Vavara which produced a Long-legged Buzzard.
We were quick to find a Laughing Dove and a recently arrive Eurasian Hoopoe ... my first of the year. An Isabelline Wheatear was showing well near the picnic site, another lifer for Jimmy.
Our next site was Zakaki in Akrotiri. En-route we came across a few Common Buzzards along the motorway.
Arriving at Zakaki it seemed very devoid of life and the wind had picked up. I heard a few Eurasian Penduline Tit but we was unable to find them.
We moved on to Ladie Mile quickly where 4 Greater Flamingo were feeding and the large group of gulls were settled. We had quite a few Slender-billed Gulls among the Black-headed Gulls and a pair of young Mediterranean Gulls. Behind the restaurant we found quite a few Armenian Gulls of all ages but no Caspian Gulls this time around.
Our next stop was Phassouri Marsh where we ate our lunch in the hide and watched the Marsh Harriers hunting. I got a fleeting glimpse of a Common Kingfisher here but Jimmy didn't manage to get on it quick enough. A group of 5 Northern lapwings flew in from the east and landed in one of the concealed pools which held some Common Teal that were put up by the Marsh harriers from time to time.
After we finished our lunch we headed to the Kensington Cliffs where a Griffon Vulture was seen on entry. It landed in a pine tree and stripped a branch and carried it back to the nest. The only other bird of note here was some pure Rock Doves.

We had a bit of time left over and so Jimmy opted to visit one last site in Paphos. We went to Timi beach where 2 Isabelline Wheatear were showing well and provided good photo opportunities and a good way to wrap up the tour producing 67 Species for the day.

Cyprus Bird Watching Tours - BIRD is the WORD - x3 Day Tour - Paphos, Akrotiri + Larnaca 07, 08, 09/02/2019

On the 7th I had the pleasure of guiding Ewelina on a 3 day tour around Paphos, Akrotiri and Larnaca. The weather wasn't always good, although we managed a decent bird count each day.
On the first day we started off at the Paphos Headland Coast for Greater Sand Plover driving through the harbour on the way which had many Great Cormorants and a few Yellow-legged Gulls on the breakers. We saw many birds on the ground leading up to the greater sand plovers including Eurasian Skylark, Crested Lark, Meadow Pipit, Red-throated Pipit, countless Common Stonechat and many Corn Bunting singing away. We even managed good views of a pair of recently arrived Isabelline wheatears. I had only discovered the first Isabelline Wheater to arrive in Cyprus this year 2 days prior, so we were very fortunate.
At the point the Greater Sand Plover all stood on the rocks in a row, sadly all in their winter plumage though a few just starting to change ... which is unusual in that this time previous years I had seem some of them almost half changed by this time. A group of Golden Plover were slightly to the right of them and had a lone Turnstone among them.
We then ventured to the Sewage Works here we saw a female Eurasian Sparrowhawk hunting and fly straight through an olive tree. Many Spur-winged Lapwing were showing including a pair very close to the car, and the Cattle Egrets were feeding in the alfalfa fields, chasing each other at times. Meadow Pipits were darting around in their hundreds and a Grey Wagtail showed well next to the car. We saw a small group of Ducks in flight land in one of the concealed pools, by size we assumed they must have been common teal. A Common Quail was calling from inside an alfalfa field, though we had no chance in locating it. There seemed to be a large number of Serin moving around the site that day of which we got great views of, but a disappointing number of Spanish Sparrows, just 1 in fact, though a nice male that posed meters from the car in some fennel.
As we left the site we checked an orchard for Stone Curlew, but unfortunately none were to be seen.
Our next stop was Timi beach which held very little so we moved on quickly to Mandria. Here we saw 7 Laughing Doves, great views of them on the wires (accompanied by recently arrived Barn Swallow) and also feeding close on the ground. We added 2 more Isabelline Wheatear here and then stopped for coffee.
We then checked Secret Valley for Chukar and waterfowl. On the lake we had Grey Heron and Little Egret, with a Great Cormorant perched at the top of a coniferous trees. Many Coot, Moorhen and Little Grebe were on the water and a single Teal.
We moved further up after to stopping to look at an endemic flower - Aphrodite's Spurge. Sure enough we found little groups of Chukar, unfortunately no Bonelli's Eagles hunting here today though and so we moved on.
We stopped at Anarita Mast on the way to Anarita Park which held no surprises. Anarita park produced a Little Owl, Finsch's Wheatear and a stunning male Blue Rock Thrush of which we had lengthy views of whilst we ate our lunch. We also heard a few Cyprus Warbler here and got lengthy views of a male moving among some spiny bush, which briefly did show clearly out of the bush thankfully.
We managed 55 species for the day.

On the second day we ventured to Akrotiri. The weather was very poor as we left Paphos and it rained heavy at times with very few sunny spells throughout the day in Akrotiri, making the birding difficult.
We started at Zakaki where we struggled to see the many Penduline Tits darting around and the many Moustached Warbler singing. We never managed good views of either unfortunately. We did get good views of Cetti's Warbler and a very early Eurasian Reed Warbler. Seeing a Siberian race of Common Chiffchaff was a treat. We had a flyover Green Sandpiper calling here and Water Rail calling from the dense reeds. A very small falcon flew over towards the salt lake, a Merlin!
The gulls were disturbed at ladies mile and so we drove down the strip to check some waders out. A small group of Little Stint show well very close to the car, as did many Greater Flamingo. As we returned we got to look through some settled gulls and found a Slender-billed Gull, Yellow Legged Gull, Caspian Gull and Armenian Gull among the Black-headed Gull. A group of 30+ Great Cormorant were migrating north.
Bishop's Pool was unfortunately locked but gave us time to visit a few sites that we missed in Paphos the previous day.
We checked out Phassouri Marsh of which Ewelina spotted and pointed out a Eurasian Wryneck sitting in a eucalyptus tree, a great spot! There was quite a few recently arrived Common Swift around here and Barn Swallow. We also saw a group of Woodlark sitting in a tree drying off from the rain.
Moving on to Kensington Cliffs we were treated to good close views of the griffon Vultures on arrival and then saw 7 of them sitting in a low pine tree very close to us for a lengthy time. Some of the best perched views I have ever had of our small population!

So with our extra time we headed back to Paphos and headed into the foothills of Episkopi to see the Peregrine Falcon site. Sure enough we saw one and then moments later the male flew in and they started copulating, minutes after we arrived. What great timing! We saw the female perched at various spots and patrolling the monlith edge many times.

We then drove through Minthis seeing a few Corn Bunting on the way and headed back through Armou of which we saw a Long-legged Buzzard in flight a few times and briefly perched close in the top of a coniferous tree.
Despite the bad weather it turned out to be a great day managing 63 species.

On our final day we headed to Larnaca, and the weather was great.
After the journey there we stopped for coffee at Menou. Over the road from us a Black Francolin was calling and some largish birds were moving every now and then through a field. Ewelina saw a white bar on the upper wing of one and so I suggested Stone Curlew. After we finished our coffee I took the car in for a closer inspection and they were indeed Stone Curlew, over 60 of them infact! An incredible start to the day!
Menou and Spiros Pools held little but Greater Flamingo. As we walked to the Sewage Pools hide we saw quite a few Spectacled Warbler in the flooded low shrubs. On the pools we had some water fowl but not the usual winter concentration.
A few Gadwall and Common Pochard, Mallard, Northern Shoveler and Common Teal were the most numorous species. We had 3 grebe species too: Little Grebe, Great Crested Grebe and over 40 Black-necked Grebe with some changing into summer plumage. Ewelina managed to spot a small group of Greater White Fronted Geese on a meadow behind the pools in the distance.
We searched around the desalination area and managed great close views of a lone Chukar. We also saw many Kentish plover on the beach accompanied by 2 Dunlin.
Then we headed to the Salt Lake. We was unsuccessful in finding a pair of Little Gull and a Ruddy Shelduck that had been seen here previous days, though we did see many Greater Flamingo, a very large flock of Black-headed and Slender-Billed Gulls and many Little Stint with a few Ringed Plover among them. There were some distant Common Shelduck halfway in and a few Spur-winged Lapwing around the edge.
Our next stop was the Kamares Aqueduct. There was many Water Pipit here at the start of the channel and a Grey Wagtail. A small group of Little Egret were further up and eventually flew over. As we walked up we flushed many Common Snipe and managed good views of one. A Green Sandpiper showed but was very nervous at times as was a Common Redshank. A pair of Common Kingfishers were chasing each other many times during our visit and the reed bed was full of Common Chiffchaff. Occasionally a Laughing Dove flew over and landed on some wires and as we returned to the start of the channel we was treated to lengthy close views of a Bluethroat which was very close to summer plumage. We had our first House Martin here also, accompanied by a Barn Swallow. A few Penduline tit and a Moustached warbler were calling from the reeds but we never managed to see them.
Next we headed to Oroklini. Here we got some Ferruginous Duck and Black-winged Stilt to add to the list and some good scoped views of perched Marsh Harrier, also seeing them hunting many times. The main hide got very busy and so we ventured to the second hide. Some Greater Flamingo were very close here, no surprises on this side though until we left the hide and another Bluethroat flew in and landed in a low tamarisk right next to us. This one was a drab female though.
We headed to the beach to look through the gulls. There was quite a few Cattle Egret feeding in the flooded fields and a few Spur-winged lapwings were meters from the car as we pulled up to some traffic lights. On the beach there were mainly Black-headed Gulls but we did manage a Mediterranean Gull among them as well as a few Sandwich Terns on the ground.
We managed 72 Species for the day bringing our today to 101 Species. A thoroughly enjoyable 3 day adventure with great company.

Cyprus Bird Watching Tours - BIRD is the WORD - Tour - Akrotiri 26/01/2019

Juvenile Great White Pelican Cyprus Birding Birdwatching tours ecotours birdlife wildlife

On the 26th I guided Derek and Liz around the Akrotiri and Episkopi sites. The weather was clear and sunny making a refreshing change from what has been the wettest winter on record in Cyprus bringing a lengthy drought to an end.
We started out at Zakaki where many Eurasian Penduline Tits were flitting around though proving hard to spot and a few Common Reed Bunting though sadly no close views. The reeds had vastly grown since my last visit which obstructed any possibility of seeing into the lake or the newly arrived Eurasian Reed Warbler which was singing for much of our duration. We had a few glimpses of Cetti's Warbler as well as hearing many. There was surprisingly little else here and so we moved on to Ladies Mile. A few Greater Flamingo were still feeding here as were many gulls. We went to approach my usual spot and unfortunately someone scared all the gulls off, and so we went to another spot ... and then the same thing happened with a fisherman. It looked like it was going to be one of those days. So third time lucky we checked behind the Oasis and managed good views of Caspian, Yellow-legged and Armenian Gull as well as mainly Black-headed Gulls. We were fortunate to have a Slender-billed gull bathing in a puddle and saw a few more on the salt flats as we scanned through after checking the strip. Crested Larks were showing very well and we also had a close encounter with a Black Francolin out in the open which was a bonus!
Our next destination was bishop's pool, which didn't hold any surprises aside a part leucistic female Shoveler. We managed some great views of Ferruginous duck here and even saw an early emerged Black Whip Snake. A few Marsh Harriers were patrolling the edges.
We stopped at the environmental center on the way back and saw a distant flock of Common Starling. After unsuccessfully checking some of the salt lake water pockets from here for Common Shelduck and other waterfowl we headed back to the car and suddenly two Juvenile Pelicans shot straight infront of us and landed in a plowed field. I had heard a pair of exhausted Pelicans had been rehabilitated and released recently by the game fund, though I had heard they left, obviously not. We got fantastic views of them but kept a healthy distance so as not to disturb them. A great addition to our day.

A quick look around the gravel pits didn't produce anything other than Meadow Pipits, though we did see a Sardinian Warbler doing its display flight. Phassouri had quite a few Common Buzzards and Marsh Harriers and various finches. We stopped to eat our lunch here on the coastal part where we also had some great views of European Serin and Common Linnet feeding as well as a Hen Harrier hunting the coast. Some of the big groups of Anemone Coronarias were pleasant to see with their various colours.
Our next stop was Kensington Cliffs where the Griffon Vultures were seen on arrival as was some Chukar. We got to watch the Vultures for the duration of our stay, they flew very low overhead at times and provided some good views of them landing too. Plenty of Rock Doves were flying around but no sign of the Peregrines today. As we walked back to the car we came across plenty of Sand Crocos (Romulea tempskyana) and also our endemic Veined Sainfoin. Also a Small Copper butterfly was feeding on our endemic Hyacinthella millingenii.

Driving back to Paphos I pulled the car over just before Aphrodite's rock to identify two large raptors above us. One was a Common Buzzard that flew towards us and the other was a Long-legged Buzzard which sadly didn't come as close ... but provided a great comparison of the species. We also saw many Common Buzzard perched and in flight as we entered Kouklia.
We stopped at the Paphos Sewage Plant on the way back to see the Spur-winged Lapwings. We also managed to see a young male Bluethroat for a lengthy amount of time foraging through the mud in close proximity to a Grey Wagtail. The Cattle Egret and Northern Lapwing were strangely no-where to be seen.

Cyprus Bird Watching Tours - BIRD is the WORD Tour - Akrotiri 21/12/2108

Griffon Vulture Cyprus Birding Birdwatching tours ecotours birdlife wildlife

On the 21st I guided Andy around the Akrotiri sites.
We started off at Zakaki where there were many Penduline Tits flitting around and calling, though due to their very flighty behaviour we never managed a good view of one sitting in a reed, though we got great flight views of well over 30 birds. Black-redstart and European Stonechat were showing at the entrance and a female Common Reed Bunting was showing infront of the hide at times. As we entered the hide a Common Starling flew out of the reeds, seemingly a roosting spot. Cetti's Warblers could be heard singing and calling all over and sometimes showing briefly, and a pair of Common Chiffchaff moved from reed to reed. At least 4 Moustached Warbler were heard in the area and at least 2 of those showed quite well, infact they sat on reeds preening for well over 5 minutes each which was fantastic given their usual low-down, skulky nature. Whilst tracking one of the Cettis warblers through the reeds a White-spotted Bluethroat jumped out and showed well but briefly, it then flew into a dense patch of reeds and sang for a few minutes.
There wasn't hardly any waterfowl on the lake itself, just coot, moorhen, shoveler, mallard and a few teal. A Common Kingfisher and Water Rail could be heard at times but neither showed for us.

Across the road two Muskovy Duck sat on a wall basking in the sun. Inside the Port wall on a container sat a female Blue Rock Thrush which was a surprise bird for the day which provided great close views.
We then headed on to Ladies Mile, there was a lot of Greater Flamingos feeding on the pools here as well as many Black-headed Gulls. On the beach we had Caspian, Yellow-legged and Armenian Gulls and a surprise Great Crested Grebe. Crested Larks entertained in the car park and a few Corn Bunting flying over.

Our next stop was Bishop's Pool. En route we came across a small party of Spanish Sparrows feeding in a bush. Just past the gate we were lucky enough to see a male and female Black Francolin (target species) at the side of the road, brief but good views. Bishop's Pool held poor numbers of waterfowl compared to previous years and sadly the toxic algae bloom was still prevailing at certain parts of the lake which may be a factor in reduced numbers of birds. Birds of note here were Ferruginous Duck and a Black-necked Grebe which we got pretty close views of. There was also a single Wigeon. A few Anemone Coronaria were blooming beside the pathway and also some Green Asparagus was fruiting already.
The reed area had a few Eurasian Reed Warbler, with one in song.
As we left the area we saw Robin, White wagtail, Chaffinch and Blackcap drinking from the puddles and also a Blackbird near the entrance. As I closed the gate I saw movement in the corner of my eye, A Hen Harrier shot across the scrub and concealed behind the line of acacia and so I asked Andy if he wanted to chase it. Ofcourse, it's a Hen Harrier. So we shot down to the salt pan for a clear view point and watched the Hen Harrier for a few minutes hunting over the shrub.
A quick visit to the Gravel Pits didn't provide much as the area was too wet to drive on so we had a quick look around the church. We came across many Sardinian Warbler and some European Serin. The star bird here though was a Cyprus Warbler seemingly lost. A small party of Woodlark landed in a wet shrubby area though we was unable to locate them.
We then headed to Phassouri Marsh to eat our lunch in the tower hide. As we entered the area we saw a Common Buzzard in a tree and at least 3 hunting over an agricultural field with a few calling. After watching the buzzards a small party of Woodlark flew in and landed next to the car and provided good views. A vineyard was full of finches feeding; Chaffinch, Serin, Goldfinch, Greenfinch etc.
As we ate our lunch we watched a Marsh Harrier gliding around infront of us for a long period of time, and a Common Kingfisher slowly edged closer to us providing great views.
The site was quite devoid of life though so we didn't spend much time here.

We then headed to Kensington Cliffs for the Griffon Vultures. We scanned for Chukar Partridge on entry which was another target species, though unfortunately none were around. A Griffon Vulture was in flight on arrival and 2 were sitting on the cliff face. The pathway to the cliff face was full of newly emerged Ranunculus, possibly Ranunculus bullatus sbsp. cytheraeus given the time of year. After scoping the Griffons we looked around for other stuff. A Peregrine Shot across the sky as did many Rock Dove. 2 Heuglin's Gull flew in (which were very easy to identify from above) and landed on the far rocks with some European Shags. Looking down I noticed a Turtle (likely a Loggerhead) emerge from the water for air, I was just explaining to Andy where exactly it was when I saw some big shadows cast down. More Griffon Vultures arrived at the site until there was 10 in total. They passed us extremely close countless times, eye level, slightly above us, sometimes below us and sometimes so close we could have probably reached out and grabbed one. It was probably one of the best experiences I had had with them due to how much time we got to experience them so close. A second Peregrine entered the site and both tried to gain height over the vultures who in turn tried to gain height to prevent being mobbed. Eventually the Griffons came in to land one by one.

When heading back to the hotel we were treated to seeing a Cyprus Fox slowly crossing the road, a Song Thrush flying across the road and many Laughing Dove around the coastal road, a good end to a good tour totaling 63 species, which is a decent count for December.
