Its cold. That's the tweet.


And on the last and final day of birding it appeared. White-throated Kingfisher to top of the week. Also Frog 🐸. Thanks to @AndersG2211 and @birdsaroundcy and everyone on the island. I'll be back if only for the coffee.

Pafos football shirt on ready for my last supper back to the dismal weather I'm hearing about in the U.K. @PafosFCsupport @PafosFCUK I wish you all the best of luck this season and onwards.

Day 5 of Cyprus. Akrotiri Marsg Looks like I'm dipping the White-throated Kingfishers. Nevertheless 3 new species. Moustached Warbler, Black Francolins and the Black-winged Kite (record shot for proof 🤣). Bonus Long-eared Owl hiding away in some bushes somewhere. @birdsaroundcy

Tomorrow and Saturday left 🤞

The long staying Black winged Kite preformed well this morning at Akrotiri Marsh + 2 Squacco Heron, 2 Pintail, 5 Marsh Harrier, 3 Snipe, 2 White throated Kingfisher, 3 Woodlark, 3 Bluethroat, 5 Water Pipit, Moustached Warbler & 4 Penduline Tit. #cyprusbirds



Day 4. Spent the morning at Mavrokolympos Reservoir before some non-birding sightseeing. Managed to bag Cyprus Warbler (3) despite spending two hours they never stayed out long enough for a photo. The Pochard, Black Redstart and Spanish Sparrow more obliging @birdsaroundcy

Fincsh's Wheatear at Asprokremnos Dam on day 2 of Cyprus. And it gave me a chance to see the abandoned village at the far end. Added a photo of A Sardinian Warbler as it was nice to actually get a photo of one for a change. Common but notoriously skulky. @birdsaroundcy

Day 1 of Cyprus went well. Avagas Gorge for the Wallcreeper and a visit to the headlands. A handful of other new species, Blue Rock Thrush, Greater Sand Plover, Laughing Dove, Red Throated Pipit, Spanish Sparrow (finally) and Chukar.

Started the 4 days in Tenerife strong. Plain Swift, Berthelot's Pipit, African Blue Tit, Canary Islands Chaffinch and Chiffchaff. Horrible light for the Pipit. #Tenerifebirdwatching.
