A remarkable moment at Akrotiri marsh this afternoon. I was delighted to see a
very unexpected black stork drop in but seconds later fly off again as it was
perused by a Bonelli's eagle which appeared from nowhere. They both flew right past the hide but eventually
the eagle gave up the chase as the stork disappeared behind some trees.
Bonelli's eagle.
On the marsh itself at least 55 spur-winged plover, plus single spoonbill and
great white egret. Ducks were mainly teal with a few shoveler and I was
surprised to see around 10 spotted redshanks.
This looks like a nice place to land.......
.......wrong again!
