Day 8
A return to Kouklia, with Willow Warblers still about but not a great deal else. We finished on a reasonable total, considering how few birds seemed to be working through the bushes.
We recaptured one of our Sardinian Warblers from 2016, since colour ringed by AK's team.
It warmer up very quickly today and we were quite ready to start taking nets down just after 10am.

The best birds of the morning were probably two White Storks that were seen passing some distance overhead to the East.
Totals: 37 (5)
Whinchat - 1

We had a few errands to run and didn't get out until the early evening when we went to Mavrokolymbos Dam. It was very quiet with just a few Cyprus Wheatears, a Red-backed Shrike, a Whinchat and a Greenshank to report.
