I'm surprised that given it's reputation and international status Cyprus, does not warrant it's own sub forum on the European page.
Not withstanding this I hope to encourage other visitors and preferably residents to post their sightings from wherever they live on the island. Most of the information available relates to the more popular well known birding destinations.
Cyprus sightings are of course also posted on the Birdlife Cyprus website.
Your support of this thread would be appreciated.
Arriving late Saturday night 21st March, Tina and I are staying with friends for a week at Kala-Chorio, in the district of Limassol at the foothills of the Troodos.
Unfortunately I'm a little bit limited in getting to locations, since I don't drive.
Regretably it started raining Sunday night and has never stopped since (14.00 on Monday 23rd),however here's what I saw in the surrounding area on Sunday at Kala-Chorio:
Hoopoe x 4
Northern Wheatear
Cyprus Wheatear
Cyprus Warbler
Cettis Warbler
Blackcap
Willow Warbler
Song Thrush
Robin
Blackbird
Barn Swallow
House Martin
Kestrel
Masked Shrike
Hooded Crow
Serin
Goldfinch
Greenfinch
Reg legged partridge
House sparrow
Greenfinch
Great Tit
Cyprus Coal Tit
Further contributions welcome.
