		The Cyprus (pied) wheatear (Oenanthe cypriaca) was, until recently, seen as a race of the pied wheatear (Oenanthe pleschanka) but is now recognised as a full species.

		Cyprus is under increased pressure to enforce its bird protection laws as it joined the EU in May 2004 and because of Bern Convention Recommendation No 90 (2001) on the catching, killing or trading of protected birds in Cyprus.
		This was adopted by 45 nations in response to a case that the RSPB and BirdLife Cyprus took to the Bern Convention against the governments of Cyprus and the UK (the latter in relation to the Sovereign Base Areas).
		BirdLife Cyprus is monitoring illegal trapping, raising public awareness, publishing educational materials, and encouraging the Cyprus Government to comply fully with the Birds Directive and Bern Convention.

		Two of the species often caught in mist nets are Cypriot endemics, the Cyprus warbler, Sylvia melanothorax, and the Cyprus wheatear, Oenanthe cypriaca.

		I had never visited Cyprus before and, on the basis of a week in Paphos in March, I would strongly recommend it.
		The week was rapidly approaching its end, and I had still not seen the two 'common' endemic birds — Cyprus warbler and wheatear.
		After a short while I located two singing Cyprus warblers but it was about an hour before we had some rather distant views of a male Cyprus wheatear, formerly considered to be a distinctive subspecies of pied wheatear.

	Where do you want to go birding in Cyprus today?
		Cyprus, the olive groves near the Baths of Aphrodite on the Akamas Peninsula are a significant migrant trap.
		Cyprus (or at least the Greek part of it) is a largely hilly land of mimosa and carob trees, scattered ruins of various civilisations, huge British military bases where the Red Arrows practise, deserted Turkish villages, and Keo.
		We have chosen this resort on the basis of its location in a small village close to the birding hot spots of Evretou dam, Bath of Aphrodite, Neo Chorio and Polis reeds which all were within 15 min drive by car from the hotel.
