Spot more than one flock of birds flying south. Think that there’s no need for seasonal migration here and one swallow doth not a summer make, etc. But actually there are migratory touch downs in Cyprus. The flamingos, for example, spend time in the salt lakes near Larnaka every year as they travel between Europe and Africa. Seems to be nesting time here as well. A great deal of cooing from the pigeons early this morning. Two of them desporting themselves at length yesterday on our roof, the roof opposite and the wires in between. And this morning both male and female of the tiny birds with a nest in the roof tile across the road were bringing tiny strands to the nest. Don’t know which is which. They’re smaller than a sparrow and with slimmer lines. Tentatively identified as Cyprus coal tits. Still pretty cautious about being followed, although the opening they use is very small. A mouse could get in - where can’t they? - but would probably regret the attempt.
Mildly good news on the covid-19 front. The number of active cases in the TRNC has dropped from 53 to 47. Not huge, but the right direction. The current curfew/lockdown is supposed to last until April 10, which is this Friday. Only uninformed speculation re extensions. However Coronavirus no respecter of persons. Boris Johnson admitted to ICU at St Thomas Hospital tonight.
