Same bird.

and another

Osprey at Germasougeia Res

Last one, again of the Osprey.

interesting Steve. Where to bird abroad is always a dilemma and a personal choice (which I'm not proposing to debate). I used to 'boycott' a lot. But now deliberately go to some places to spend my birding dollar: folk who used to poach birds can become keen conservationists if they earn over and over showing a bird.
re turtle doves, some would argue we in the UK have done much more to reduce Turtle dove populations - research shows that, in short, they can't raise enough young to sustain a UK population as farming practices leave them nothing to eat. You can still hear lots of purring turtle doves in Cyprus despite the appalling massacre. Cos there's habitat. I cannot understand 'shooting' - but I know my own lifestyle is more a threat to birds than that. A real personal challenge. It all just seems so complicated at times!
