Book:
This book will tell you all you need to know about exactly where and how to find the best birds in the Greek part of Cyprus.
Dave Gosney writes: ‘To find out what’s about in Cyprus you can look on their website, call their BirdLine or just talk to any birders you meet. But you’ll probably be told that the best bird is at somewhere like Oroklini Marsh or Ayia Napa Sewage Works or Acheleia reeds or Anarita Park - places you’ve never heard of because they don’t feature in other books. However, all these sites, and many more, are described in detail in my book with clear maps to show you exactly where to go. I hope it’ll help you to find many more birds than you could without it.’
