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.

Druridge Subalpine Warbler

An early morning twitch for the Subalpine Warbler gave great views as it fed in a blackthorn bush. Afterwards we went to St. Mary's where we briefly saw a Firecrest and 3 Yellow-browed Warblers.











Subalpine Warbler (I attached the last photo because I'm not sure if the tail pattern helps assign the bird to race).
