Cyprus is an island in the Eastern Basin of the Mediterranean Sea. It is the third largest island in the Mediterranean and the world's 80th largest island by area.
It's been unimaginably hot so I haven't been out looking for birds much this summer. I took yesterday off for my birthday and spotted this pair in my neighbor's backyard enjoying these figs.
The Fig fruit is used to make the very popular cookie-type thing called the Fig Newton.
Fig Newtons are interesting in that even though you may have the appetite and desire to eat 5 of them, you can actually only eat 3.
The problem with having a fig tree is getting some figs for yourself before the squirrels, raccoons, and birds eat theirs.

Time for some Vitamin Sea.
My favorite place to vacation is anyplace by the ocean.
I watched the male bring twigs and build the nest yesterday. Now little Mamma is nesting in my Fig tree. Mourning Doves try to nest in there every year, but it is vulnerable to predators.I hope this time they will stay and we can see the baby doves hatch this year:)
Ho guardato il maschio portare rami e costruire il nido di ieri. ormai poco mamma è di nidificazione nel mio fico. Doves provare a nidificare in là, ogni anno, ma è vulnerabile ai predatori. Spero che questa volta si fermeranno e possiamo vedere le colombe bambino boccaporto di quest'anno :)
♥ Have a great day my friends and thank you for your visits!

Southern Crested Caracara female inverted head display, moments before copulation. This is a unique display in the
world of bird behaviour, so far as I know.
To give a sense of scale, a pomegranate is at the bottom right. To the right of that are canna lilies. 20 feet may be pretty close to the size of the fig.

Sydney, NSW, Australia, August 2015. A fig provides shade at "Mrs Macquarie's Chair", a promontory of the Sydney Royal Botanical Gardens.
The fruits (syconia) of the Knobbly Fig (Ficus sansibarica), form in pairs on woody knobs directly on the tree trunk & mature branches ! When ripe, they go reddish/brownish & have a sweetish taste - a favourite with wild animals like primates.

Al contrari que tots els rapinyaires de les fotos del Cim d'Aligues, aquest xot (otus scops) va per lliure. Això és el maxim que m'hi vaig poder acostar. Poc despres va marxar, cansat de que no el deixes dormir, el pobre.

I spoted this scops owl (otus scops) from a window. It was sleeping in a fig tree! You can see that he has elevated his "feather ears" to break his silhouette and resemble a piece of wood.

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov is one of the most famous Russian playwrights and one of the most screened prose writers because in his works more than 100 films have been shot.
Chekhov has purchased this property in January of 1900, as a place where he could escape from numerous visitors and guests of his Yalta house. Here he wrote the first act of the play Три сестры. While Anton Chekhov himself did not live in this house for extended periods of time, several members of his family did.Three rooms of the house are restored with contemporary furnishings. The exhibits are dedicated to Chekhov’s relationship with his wife, Olga Knipper, the play Three sisters, and the people that have surrounded him, his family and friends.
В 1898 году Чеховым А.П. был куплен участок в Гурзуфе. Это была татарская сакля с четырьмя комнатами, построенной прямо на берегу маленькой бухты за Пушкинской скалой (другое название — Подзорная труба). За все это и кусочек берега просили 3000 рублей. Это было дорого и, вознамерившись поторговаться, писатель пришел осмотреть место лично. Увидев такой красивый вид, оценив местоположение литератор пришел в восторг. Сделка тут же состоялась.
Позднее на нем был разбит ухоженный сад и построен небольшой уютный домик, проект которого разрабатывал Шаповалов Л.Н.
По завещанию писателя дача отошла его жене, О.Л. Книппер, которая жила там ежегодно в летние месяцы. В 1963 году дом перешел в ведение Союза художников СССР.
Восстановить дачу в том самом первоначальном виде, когда ее покупал писатель, предложил в 1987 году известный артист Олег Ефремов. Именно этот год считается годом открытия музея, как филиала чеховского дома-музея в Ялте. А с 2016 года он входит в структуру Крымского литературно-художественного мемориального музея-заповедника.

About the Moreton Bay Fig
Ficus macrophylla, commonly known as the Moreton Bay Fig, is a large evergreen banyan tree of the Moraceae family that is a native of most of the eastern coast of Australia, from the Atherton Tableland (17° S) in the north to the Illawarra (34° S) in New South Wales, and Lord Howe Island. Its common name is derived from Moreton Bay in Queensland, Australia. It is best known for its beautiful buttress roots, which are also known for damaging municipal footpaths.
As Ficus macrophylla is a strangler fig; seed germination usually takes place in the canopy of a host tree and the seedling lives as an epiphyte until its roots establish contact with the ground. It then enlarges and strangles its host, eventually becoming a freestanding tree by itself. Individuals may reach 60 m (200 ft) in height. Like all figs, it has an obligate mutualism with fig wasps; figs are only pollinated by fig wasps, and fig wasps can only reproduce in fig flowers.
Ficus macrophylla is widely used as a feature tree in public parks and gardens in warmer climates such as California, Portugal, Sicily and Australia. Old specimens can reach tremendous size. Its aggressive root system allows its use in only the largest private gardens.
The Moreton Bay fig was described by French botanist René Louiche Desfontaines. Its specific epithet macrophylla is derived from the Ancient Greek makro "large" and phyllon "leaf", and refers to the size of the leaves. Australian botanist Dale J. Dixon recognised two forms: Ficus macrophylla f. macrophylla, a free-standing tree which is endemic to mainland Australia and Ficus macrophylla f. columnaris, a hemiepiphyte without a distinct main trunk, which is endemic to Lord Howe Island.
The generally used common name is Moreton Bay Fig, after Moreton Bay in southern Queensland, although it is found elsewhere. The term has also been mistakenly generalised to other fig species in Australia. An alternate name, Black Fig, is derived from the dark colour of the ageing bark.
