All sightings were from the vicinity of the Epavlis hotel in Kamari, on local walks or in towns visited on day trips. Don't go if you want a big list!!

Hummingbird and Levants Hawk Moths were recorded in Kamari while Swallowtail, Clouded Yellow and Painted Lady were the most widespread butterflies across the island. With daily temperatures over 30oC, birding was hard going.
