A recent trip to the Akrotiri area, Limassol. At Zakaki Marsh it was lovely to see Water Rail chicks feeding themselves and being helped by both male and female adults, there were also adult and juvenile Black-crowned Night Heron, both of which is great news for breeding birds at this site. It was a bonus to see both a Pied and Common Kingfisher, there were also a number of Little Egret and a Little Bittern was seen. At Ladies Mile it was again good to see the successful breeding of Black-winged Stilt and Kentish Plover with juveniles running about feeding, a Common Redshank was also seen. On the Salt Lake there were around 1000 Greater Flamingo.
