Spring in Cyprus

 I, have recently returned from a week in Cyprus,based around the Paphos area.This was now my annual vacation to Europe with the camera,the sole intention being to capture some of the different species of birds that inhabit and pass through the island on migration.

A good bit of planning had gone into the excursion,with a hire car being booked for the week and good friend and fellow photographer Albert Stoecker contacted  prior to arrival.Albert is now resident on the island and is always a mine of information re the local birdlife!

I,ll start the blog by posting  some images of Montagues Harriers that frequent a favoured area.They can always be relied on to put on a show when hunting for food!Sitting quietly in the car,they afford stunning views!

This female was hunting the bushes because it held a small flock of sparrows.
