Cyprus - Paphos Headland...

On our Cyprus trip we spent one day at Paphos Headland, where despite there not being very many migrants, there was a nice variety.

One of the first birds was a female Ruppell's Warbler which was one of our main targets for the trip, while other birds around the headland included a Thrush Nightingale, Black-eared Wheatear, Masked ShrikeEastern Subalpine Warbler and 4 Purple Herons in off.

Commoner birds included Nightingales, Spanish Sparrows and Corn Buntings.

On the way home a nice surprise was an early Roller sat on some roadside wires.

  1. I've been enjoying the Cyprus blogs Jonny. Some nice birds and images. I hadn't realised that the Scop's Owl had been split so did a bit of reading about it. Brian.
