BirdLife Cyprus Wetland Count

15/09/17 BirdLife Cyprus Wetland Count. Starting at Kannaviou there were sightings of Great Cormorant, Grey Heron, Common Kingfisher and Whiskered Tern. Moving on to Evretou our first highlight was Golden Oriole in the valley and on reaching the the water a complete surprise were the 4 Pied Avocet flying around with the same number of Black-winged Stilt. Also Grey Heron, Yellow Wagtail and Hoopoe were seen. We moved on to the Arodhes area where there were numerous Willow Warbler, European Bee Eater as well as Red-backed and Masked Shrike.
