To catch some spring migration and target a few remaining lifers we decided on a long weekend trip to Cyprus during the Easter weekend. Rob had visiting Cyprus back in 2007 but the owl had not been split at that point, therefore the main targets where Cyprus Scops Owl (new for both of us), Cyprus Warbler and Cyprus Wheatear (new for Helen). Additionally, a Lesser Moorhen turned up 2 weeks before our trip and luckily stayed long enough to see it which was a bonus lifer.
