I was very keen on Bird-watching in Scotland, and there are so many different varieties of birds in Cyprus I do not recognise. Can anyone recommend a good Book on Cyprus Birds and from which Shop? Thanks!

Hi Ruth great minds think alike, I was only musing today......I need a bird book. I have seen some lovely birds recently.

I have seen a good one not too big in the book shop up in town and I saw it again I think it was in Hearns Coral Bay, I should have bought it at the time but I was buying other books. Will let you know when I see it again.

Jan :)

To get free delivery to Cyprus, make sure you click on the Euro flag, the pricing will then be in Euros and free delivery. Unless it's changed recently, they were charging p&p to Cyprus!

In fact, for delivery to Cyprus, you MUST click on the Euro flag - they will not send anything priced in pounds outside of Britain :roll: :? Why, I do not know! (but I just tried it :lol: )

Hi Sharon,

Perhaps you can help me to identify a bird that we have around our villa on the coast in Protaras.

I don't have a picture of it, but we hear it mostly in the mornings and evenings, it makes a very loud squawking sound, can't really describe it in words, but it's like this. Eh......Eh.Eh.Eh......Eh.Eh.

Always those six sqawkes, then a gap of about ten seconds then it does it again. over and over.

We think we saw it one morning fairly large, bigger than a crow but thinner. mostly black with some white. Really annoying when it wakes us up at 5am. :roll:

Any ideas?

Ruth
