Still birding by my little stream, which I visited several times and never saw another birder there. It's nice to get away from the crowds sometimes, because you have to accept them at Kalloni Saltpans ( and they're worth it!) where everyone photographs the same birds it often seems. Can't blame people for that but I enjoyed snapping my 'own' birds up North. I think these Cirl Bunts got used to me being around as they carried on nest-building without delays. Or, more likely, refreshing the lining of an already-completed nest I expect.
