Cyprus - Day 9

After two days without picking up the camera, we spent a day exploring the southern coast of the island. We started the day at Bishop's Pool near the Salt Lake. We saw two or three Turtle Doves in flight.

We then drove along the coastal road at Lady's Mile Beach and saw at least a hundred Kentish Plover in pools by the road.

We then went to Kensington Cliffs and saw about four Eleonora's Falcons and a distant Griffon Vulture:
