Griffon Vultures
I visited Kensington Cliffs again a couple of times in the hope of photographing the Griffon Vultures anmd have sort of worked out the time they usually comr back to roast on the cliffs so I domnt have to wait too long. I was rewarded by seeing a couple the first time I was there and up to four the second time. It was too early to see Elenora Falcons but I did see some Alpine swifts flying around. The access to these cliffs was like going through a building site and as its on a British base and they are obviously building there it may be more dsifficult to access these cliffs in the future.

Griffon Vultures on Episkopi Cliffs
After about five attempts spanning three years I managed to get some half decent images of the Griffon Vultures that breed on the Episkopi cliffs in Cyprus a couple of weeks ago. The population has been in serious trouble on the island with numbers down to five or six in recent years. However a campaign by Birdlife Cyprus with partnership from wildlife groups in Crete has brought a number of birds from Crete to the Island to help breed with the existing population. At the last census last year I believe the number of vultures counted were up to ten which is very good news.
