Valentines day brought us some joy. With the good news of the background check that came in last night, our plans are back on track. We exchanged cards, smooches and I had a love note ready for Leslie in the morning. We still both had restless nights, not form anxiety this time but from excitement. So Leslie got the Zumba dancing started and I took a three mile fast walk to the Paphos headlands to look for the elusive desert finch. No luck in finding it but I did get to see the very rough surf and high tide.
Shark!
Some of the buildings like to present a castle like appearance
Too big to move not too big to cut through
Very strong appearance
The hooded crow
A tower of note
Great tit, some bird names are cringy
A big lizard
Common chaffinch
The surface of the sea was all foam
The fort is under siege from the waves
Contemplating
These concrete blocks are usually to feet from the waters edge
Darker clouds off in the distance
Two kinds of plovers
The one in the foreground is a Greater Sand-Plover and in the background is a Black-Bellied Plover
A Common Sandpiper. Common is the official name even though it is not a common bird
Crested Lark
Greenfinch
Greyhound or Borsi?
Ruddy Turnstone
The waves come in
and wash over the rocks
All the way to the walls
