At Mavrokolympos we were greeted by a Long-legged Buzzard and 9 Little Grebe, there were Serin, Stonechat, White Wagtail and Linnet in the area. The highlight was seeing the male Finsch's Wheatear still present that was located in this area for the first time on the 15th December.
We moved down to the coast in the Coral Bay area where we found a male Blue Rock Thrush, Common Kingfisher, Black Redstart, flocks of Spanish Sparrow, Linnet and Goldfinch.
Jan was taking a rest whilst I was attempting to get photographs !
A Cetti's Warbler was seen hopping about in a bush close to me, but could not be photographed, another half hour wasted, no wonder Jan was sitting down. Only photo managed was a Stonechat and a Butterfly.
Common Stonechat (Saxicola rubicola)
Clouded Yellow (Colias crocea)
Moving on to Cape Drepano there were a large number of Yellow-legged Gull with 4 shag and a Sandwich Tern feeding off the Geronisos Island. A large number of Jackdaw, flocks of Spanish Sparrow and Stonechat were in the area.
We moved on to the Avakas Coastal area where we found both male and female Blue Rock Thrush plus a number of Black Redstart.
