a) Seen near Anarita - looked a bit different to the other pipits. Maybe rock pipit?
b) Is this a Bonellis eagle? Sorry the photo isn't better...
c) Lesser whitethroat? Or another juv warbler?

a) Tree Pipit
b) Bonelli's
c) Difficult. Sylvia fore sure, not Lesser WT but possibly Common WT.

Thanks for that - the other tree pipits in the area were much less yellow.... I think birds do this to confuse me!

i agree on sardinian warbler - weak bill, no contrast in the darker cap but plain greyish brown.

Not a Common Whitethroat, IMO, there's no yellow / pale base to the bill. Sardinian has a broad eyering, even as a juv., lacking on the OP's bird. althea Lesser Whitethroat?

Could well be a Sardinian, but given the photo is from Cyprus, there are other possibilities that I find hard to rule out...Any other picture?
