A very interesting list of birds for mid-March Paul! I wonder if any of the species mentioned had over-wintered.
As an example, I had over-wintering RTPipit on Fuerteventura 2013/2014 ?

Hi Ken,

A few of the birds we saw were lingering wintering birds - such as Song Thrush, Robin, Meadow Pipit and Skylark. I had a quick look on the Birdlife Cyprus website, which has a checklist of Cyprus birds (see http://www.birdlifecyprus.org/upload/PDFs/CyChecklist_2012.pdf) and this shows Red-throated Pipit as a winter visitor and passage migrant, recorded every month from September to May. The birds we saw I suspect were passage migrants.

Best wishes, Paul

I read that report with interest Paul. Thank you for putting it together and well written. I like Cyprus and hadn't given it a thought for birding. I will have to think again!!
