After the government in Cyprus imposed an exit ban on us because of the coronavirus, I am glad and grateful that I can move freely in our orchard.
Apparently, this has also been talked about by migratory birds and I can't complain about the influx of feathered guests. I probably wouldn't have found more outside in the surrounding
area.
The Hoopoe couple from last brood year has arrived again and with him a second couple. I'm curious to see where the settles are.
The Hoopoe often stay in the garden, still completely relaxed. The brood business will probably have to wait a little longer, but I'm there with photo and video camera. In the meantime, I have
set up the second observation tent. Since we still had some severe thunderstorms with storm gusts at the end of March and the old camouflage tent was badly damaged, I have to build a small wooden
hut for the residence next spring, preferably two.
Now I show a small selection of what has changed at the end of March.
