6 December 2025 Paphos: Exploring Around Our Neighborhood

 


Another day of spotty precipitation so we stayed close to the house and only went out when it was not raining.  An early morning and a late afternoon stroll gave us birds, citrus trees, cats and more cats.  We got to inspect the new houses going up and later saw a meteorological special event.  We saw two dueling waterspouts off in the distance! 


Right across the street the cats get fed and there are 20 or so that congregate here


Glorious


A door and windows on a natural cave


Great tit


Chiffchaff


A common kingfisher


15 foot tall reeds


Wagtail


A very tiny church


The bell


Lovely wooden interior


Quaint chapel


All saints row


Very tiny


Well, well what do we have here?


White bougainvillea


Lots of fruit on the tree and on the ground


A female kestrel


A male, one of four that were systematically hunting this field together


Flamingo road kill!


Santa breaking and entering


These new houses are very stylish but not always that practical on the inside


I noticed a disturbance on the surface of the water


It turned out to be a waterspout


A pretty powerful one at that


Now there are two!


Wow!



It has been 3 years and 184 days since we began our Migration
