BirdLife Cyprus Griffon Vulture Census

28/01/16 We completed the Griffon Vulture Population Census for BirdLife Cyprus in the Mousere, Dora area which straddle's the regions of  Paphos and Limassol.
An enjoyable day completing the census for BirdLife Cyprus.
In the six hours spent we had 13 sightings of Griffon Vulture ranging from single birds up to groups of 9, with both the original population of Cyprus birds successfully intergrating with the birds bought in from Crete under the project to increase the dwindling Cyprus population.
