Paul's Birdwatching - Fokas Headland
 To reach the headland continue left after crossing the Salty River
following the signs to the ancient temple of Dionysos which is situated on
the headland. On the way you will pass an army outpost. Do not use your
binoculars or camera in this area as you may be asked to leave the
area.
Park at the end of the road and follow the track past the
picturesque harbour and fish taverna up onto the headland. Walk along an
onvious path through the fields to the headland where it is possible to
sit and sea watch. The seaward side of the headland holds many flowers and
associated butterflies and close to shore Yellow-legged Gulls, possible
Caspian Gull and Shag may be seen.
I watched the sea for only an
hour and counted four Cory's Shearwaters and sixty eight Yelkouan
Shearwaters. Other birds noted around the headland were Orphean Warbler,
Lesser Grey Shrike and Cirl Bunting along with the ever present
Black-headed Buntings and Crested Larks.
