Cyprus - Day 6

We began the day by visiting the Baths of Aphrodite. We didn't actually visit the baths but had a short walk around the site before moving on to the surrounding area. We visited the dam again in the evening and saw three or four Barn Owls in poor light. One landed on the edge of a rock very close to us and was screeching very loudly until being flushed by another owl. It was an incredible experience.

  1. Hi Robert - looks like you had a great holiday. I think your dragonfly is an Epaulet Skimmer (Orthetrum chrysostigma)and your Shrikes are most likely juvenile Woodchat rather than Red-backed.
