The family are off to Cyprus in May on what is NOT a birding trip but even from a fairly fixed holiday location around Coral Bay I hope to see something.
I usually try to take a European field guide [apart from the year my grandson put it back on the bookshelf after finding it on my haversack] and buy a local guide [like Gosney on the Canaries only he had not gone to Grand Canaria when he published his booklet!]
At the moment I have Collins Bird Guide [The most complete field.... you know the one?]. Has anyone used this as far East as Cyprus as a general guide?
I had hoped to find a book that told me about the Birds of Cyprus rather than one written from the aspect of birdwatching sites. Has anyone come across at least a checklist of birds found on Cyprus around that time of year?
