Cyprus day 2, Cape Greco.
At the base of the cliff I spotted this black-eared wheatear. It was quite distance and there was no way I was going to try and scramble over the rocks to get closer so only a record shot. This is the pale throated morph of the eastern race (melanoleuce) which has a more extensive face mask.
“Let me tell you about a hidden gem in Paphos – Agios Georgios Beach in Agios Georgios village!
Trust me; this place is worth a visit – and not many tourists know about it. You won’t even find information about this beach on Trip Advisor!
With a 100-meter stretch of soft yellow sand surrounded by cliffs and a bright blue sea, it’s no wonder it’s a popular spot for lovers and sunset wanderers.
Also, the calm sea means even families with small children can enjoy it too!
Imagine crystal-clear waters stretching out to the horizon, a small village enveloped in greenery, and a relaxing atmosphere that will make you forget about your everyday struggles.
This slice of paradise boasts high cliffs bordering the sandy beach, and with both south and north sides, there are hidden coves that Mother Nature herself couldn’t resist creating.
With perfect views for unforgettable photo shoots, you won’t want to forget your camera!”

In 2018 I was fortunate to visit some friends in Cyprus for two weeks. Having packed all my camera gear, I was able to travel the island releasing the shutter for over 7,000 pictures of people, scenery, architecture (in one instance close proximity to a prison led to my being detained, interrogated, and my camera confiscated by police who interrogated me believing me to be a spy; a memory one does not easily forget), and birds. This Little Owl was in the distance on a hillside in the shadows, with the setting sun at its back. The lighting was a challenge, the rule of "sun at your back", was impossible, but I was glad for a tripod and some good images. Canon 5DM3 iso 320, f9, 400s 840mm
