A BirdLife Cyprus field meeting led by John in the Paphos foothills was enjoyed by all today. Highlights seen were close views of Siskin, also Song Thrush, Woodlark and Blackbird were seen. Raptors in the area were Long-legged and Common Buzzard. It was nice to see both a male and female Finsch's Wheatear in the same area together with a Little Owl and Spectacled Warbler. We completed the trip with good views of a Peregrine Falcon on breeding territory. There were also plenty of wild flowers and orchids to view.
