I actually went back to tights and boots this morning, it was a bleak, cloudy and a cold start. When the sun did make an appearance though, later on in the day it was boiling! What a weird day, it didn't rain though.
I took my youngest children on a nature trail this afternoon, armed with old bread to feed the birds, moorhens, ducks, I was actuallly not sure what we would encounter today.
The area we visited was in Psalidi. A lake with marshy edges! There used to be a Waterpark close to this area. Which has been closed down for some time to protect the wildlife. Dogs are prohibited as are loud noises. It is a prime bird spotting area. Many people come each year to do exactly that! All I can tell you is that we saw several large birds, a few moorhens, and some kind of yellow tits or tails ! Beautiful butterflies flew around us, bees buzzed, and we had a lovely walk in the fresh country air.
Usually in the months of October-January this area is well-known for flamingo's too.
We met a lovely couple who were jogging/training and
if you squint your eyes, you can just make out a semi-naked man running around the lake (much better than watching birds!) in the next photograph. Typical, I forgot to zoom!
The Wetland area is right next to the sea, just through a gate and you are actually on the beach. We sat and watched the boats that passed and picked very pretty 'dried' wild flowers that grow in abundance over the whole area.
