LIST OF BIRD SPECIES RECORDED IN KUKLA
The bird species list of Kukla Wetlands below was compiled in July 2017 using The Birds of Cyprus (Flint, S. and Stewart, P. 1992) and subsequent records of KUŞKOR. Where records were not validated with location, recorder and date, they were not accepted. A list of Birds of Cyprus prepared in similar manner is presented at www.kuskor.org.
By comparing these two lists we can easily say that more than half of the bird species ever recorded in Cyprus have visited Kukla Wetlands. These records have included the first ever sightings of Bewick’s Swan, Grey Phalarope and Lesser Flamingo on Cyprus.
KUŞKOR welcome any sightings from the site.
