Hi Steve

Good to hear you were out in N Cyprus. We are going for our second visit later in the year. Any chance you could share the location of the sites you visited

Hi Chris - all the birding was done in North Cyprus, predominantly at Karpas point in the farthest north easterly corner. Keep driving until the road runs out and that's where we went. It is not the nicest place in the world but good for migration in March and April. The last couple days were spent at the opposite side of the island at Cape Kournikati. Updates on this place are still to be put on the blog. I wanted to do a daily live blog but there was no internet connection. The post dated updates are now the best I can offer but sadly they are not as exciting as a daily update. Good luck.
Regards. Steve.

Thanks

Appreciate the info, I've been on the Karpas, but not tried Cape Kournikati. Like you I'd like to day by day post, but time and connection don't lend them selves to these situations.

Regards Chris
