Female Finsch's wheatear at Kourion beach


Below ancient Kourion, just behind the beach, is a small, often overlooked archeological site. For the past few weeks this site has hosted a female Finsch's wheatear. We called in the other day and although we saw it, it was only for seconds and completely unsatisfactory. I was passing today on my way back from Akrotiri marsh so decided to call in for a second look.  Fortunately the bird showed much better and allowed me to get a few photos. 


Obviously not as nice as a summer plumage male, but still a smart bird.
