		With Africa to the south, Turkey and central Europe to the north and Syria and the Middle East to the east, Cyprus is a major staging post used twice a year as birds move between Africa, Europe and Euro-Asia.
		Probably the best time to visit Cyprus is in the spring when, in addition to the hordes of migrants in their readily identifiable breeding plumages one can also see the resident and summer breeding visitors.
		Cyprus is a wonderful country to birdwatch in despite all the illegal shooting, liming and netting of birds that still goes on.

		Spring arrives early in Cyprus and at this season ‘Aphrodite’s Isle’ will be at its freshest and best as we explore the full range of habitats this varied island has to offer, from the sparkling salt lake at Akrotiri and the gleaming white limestone sea cliffs to the pine-forested peaks of the Troodos mountains.
		Cyprus not only boasts some exciting breeding birds, including Black Francolin, Masked Shrike, Cretzschmar’s Bunting and the two ‘breeding endemics’, Cyprus Wheatear and Cyprus Warbler, but in spring the island also serves as a staging post for interesting migrants such as Glossy Ibis, Little Crake, Spur-winged Plover and Collared Flycatcher.
		Cyprus, with its interesting breeding birds and rich array of migrants, makes for a great short birding break in spring; its attractions are further enhanced by good quality accommodation and roads and very easy birding conditions.

		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.
