The nesting of Cattle Egrets at the beautiful lake of Famagusta, through a wonderful video by George Konstantinou.
During a recent journey through occupied Cyprus, among the places we visited were the beautiful lakes of Agios Loukas. There, together with a group of tourist birdwatchers who were fully equipped with binoculars, cameras and special telescopes, we enjoyed seeing all kinds of birds, such as herons, various species of ducks, terns, pelicans, cormorants, flamingos and others. The spectacle was truly impressive.
Just as impressive is the video you can watch below, featuring images from the area, in which George Konstantinou, President of the Association for the Protection of Natural Heritage and Biodiversity of Cyprus, documents in a video mini-documentary the nesting of Cattle Egrets at this particular lake.
The Cattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis) is a cosmopolitan semi-aquatic bird of the heron family, Ardeidae. Its scientific name derives from the Latin word Bubulcus, meaning “herdsman” or “cowherd”, and from the word ibis, which in Greek and Latin was used as the name of another bird that was sacred to the ancient Egyptians.
See below some very beautiful images from a relatively unknown corner of Cyprus, especially for the younger generations.
