Alphabetical list

It is not easy to photograph birds in Cyprus. Watching and photographing birds is not a popular hobby there. It was also difficult to find a local guide who would identify places where good photos could be taken. There are people on the island who run guided tours of observers, but not nature photographers. When I came to Cyprus everything became clear to me. Birds are very skittish and keep a considerable distance.

Two Cyprus wheatear males appeared only for a moment, then flew off. And thus such a starting gallery of Cyprus wheatear - small, modest. In this case, the starting gallery will probably remain as it is, because there are so many bird-friendly places in the world that there is no reason to plan another visit to this country. But this bird was important to me, like the Cyprus warbler, because it is difficult to find representatives of these species elsewhere in the world.

Dalmatian pelicans occur in Asia and southeastern Europe.  It is a rather rare guest in Poland, with an occurrence frequency once in a few years. This time the pelican was seen on a small island, regrettably quite a long distance from a lake shore and even a 600mm lenses with a double converter did not enable me to take satisfactory photos. Thus all the pictures presented here were created and while their processing I couldn’t do without framing them to a significant extent.
