The geographical location of Cyprus emphasizes a feature that makes it a paradise for birdwatchers. This feature is that the island is located exactly between Europe and Africa, on the annual route of migratory birds. This makes Cyprus a stopover point, a resting and feeding ground for birds.
However, the island’s bird diversity is not limited to migratory birds. The unique atmosphere and ecosystem of Cyprus has also allowed the evolution of species endemic to the island and found nowhere else. In this context, you can encounter species such as the Cyprus Warbler and the Cyprus Wheatear on the island. These species have adapted and evolved over time to the island’s unique environment, weather conditions and ecosystem, and have diverged from other similar species. Therefore, this rich and unique bird diversity of Cyprus is a great attraction for birdwatchers.
