Wednesday 27th continued.

Ringing continues to be very tough, ideal location, just no passerines around!!!!

Today we ventured out around the eastern side of the Bay of Kalloni, and saw a decent selection of birds, with some photographs....

The best were four Collared Pratincoles, a member of the wader family but more tern like in behaviour.


Bee-eaters were close enough to get a half decent photograph but always on a wire!!





Waders were evident at one pool, with Little and Temmincks Stints, Common Ringed Plover, Kentish Plover, Greenshank, Black-winged Stilts and a Black tailed Godwit.


Its one of the best springs for butterflies that I have witnessed just need to identify them when I get a chance.

Painted Lady



This female Blackbird, (BTO age 5) really was as grey as the photo suggests
