22 & 23 April, full-day birding

This was a photography oriented birding and here are my first photos for Spring 2023 guiding season with Hendrinck from Holland. We first explored the eastern and central parts of the island and moved to the west on the second day.

Here are some highlight photos:

Laughing Doves (Spilopelia senegalensis) at Loutra.

Black-winged Stilts (Himantopus himantopus) by the Kalloni Pans

Temminck’s Stint (Calidris temminckii).

Squacco Heron (Ardeola ralloides), one of several we had on both days.

Ruddy Shelduck (Tadorna ferruginea).

A pair of Red-rumped Swallows (Cecropis daurica) in dawn light.

Female Masked Shrike (Lanius nubicus).

Female Cinereous Bunting (Emberiza cineracea).

Two (!) Collared Flycatchers (Ficedula albicollis)- an impressive influx of them this week!

Tawny Pipit (Anthus campestris).

  1. Hi, Are these dates for 2024? My husband would like to join you. Can you give me times and where you meet and a contact number please. We are not exactly sure what day we will be over yet, when do you need to know by and is there a cost involved. Hope you had a lovely Christmas. Wishing you a very Happy New Year.
