Androlikou Area after Lock Down 2020

Hoopoe at Olive tree with Breeding cavern, 25. Mai 2020 - Androlikou

Since 21 May, the lock down in Cyprus has been loosened far, so that it is now possible to move freely all over the island for bird watching and photography.

My first tour last week took me to Ineia and Androlikou to see which bird species and how many birds can be seen there at all. My last visit was 3 months ago.

The Hoopoe pair breeds again in the olive tree brood-cave, the boys are already well trained and will surely soon leave the brood-cave. In Androlikou itself I could observe two young stone owls at the brood cave, the male was in the olive tree nearby. With the blue-racks, however, the number of brood-pairs is obviously lower, I could find only 7 brood-caves in Androlikou.
