This afternoon I had a walk along the Aphrodites hills trail hoping to find a few orchids, since March is the best time for them in Cyprus. In that respect it wasn't a very successful visit although I did find a couple of species. More of that later, but the highlight was undoubtably being serenaded by at least four Cyprus scops owls as I searched. I had a look to see if I could find one, but there were a lot of potential trees and they are only very small.
Also here, two Cyprus wheatears, presumably on territory.
This magnificent Bonelli's eagle flew over.
Those of a sensitive disposition should brace themselves now....
Orchid lovers may be aware that in the UK we have man orchid and lady orchid, so named because their flowers look like a man or a lady. Have a guess what this one is called........ yes it's true. It's naked man orchid! It could have been worse I suppose.
I'm not sure what species this is, it'll give me something to do when I get home!
No problem finding poppy anemones, they're everywhere.
