It was good to see both a Yellow Wagtail (feldegg race) and a Cretzschmar’s Bunting on a long-over due visit to my local patch in Nicosia this morning. Also on Manglis Lake were a couple of Little Grebe, a single Coot and a Little Grebe. Several Common Swift were flying over and coming down to drink from the water’s surface and Barn Swallow and House Martin were collecting mud from the water’s edge. A Black Francolin was calling and a male Serin was singing from a tamarisk bush.
