Let the birding begin...

Up at just gone 6am, actually we had overslept as the sun was already up. Headed out to Paphos headland and walked there, birding and taking photos, chatted with a local birder. Red-throated Pipit and Greater Sand Plover were lifers for me 😊

Back to the apartment, coffee and a snack then checked out to head over to the east of the island where we’ll be for two weeks. Stopped at Oroklini Lake on the way and picked up two more life birds - Spur-winged Lapwing and Laughing Dove.

Eventually found the apartment we’ve rented for two weeks - there is a great balcony with a fab view across to the sea. Popped to a supermarket (there is a Lidl) just down the road. Then headed off into Ayia Napa to see if we could find somewhere to eat. Ended up totally lost and everywhere seemed to be closed - even Pizza Hut 😱 Ended up back at Lidl and took food back to the apartment to eat. A weird mix of amazing pitta breads, some kind of garlic sauce spread on it, hot cheese pie (basically flaky pastry with feta cheese in) and peanuts. All highly nutritious i’m sure...

Both knackered so an early night.もっと詳しく
