Wildlife Tour of Cyprus April 2019

Some photographs from a recent tour to Cyprus.

Disappontingly you only have to look in the direction of many of the birds in Cyprus and they will fly off. Presumably this is a reflection of  the rampant hunting across the island. However over the two week tour we occassionally came across tamer individuals, which weren't too bothered if you pointed a lens at them.
