These latter photographs were taken at the small pool by the cattle grid at the Kalloni Saltpans on Saturday 15th May in the morning when it was raining quite hard. Our thoughts are that it may just be a Broad-billed Sandpiper as one had been seen later that day at the Saltpans. (Apologies for the poor quality of the photos - taken in a hurry from inside the car!).Also, any ideas about the ID of the lovely "lacewing-type" insect (We have seen this also in Turkey) or the orchid (we saw this growing in various places) - no leaves apparent at all - would be appreciated?Many thanks in advance.Roy</blockquote>
