when we first visited Cyprus in 1996 Sardinian Warbler was confined to a small area of the north coast at Pollis and we only saw one bird -- now Sardinian must be one of the commonest birds on the island having spread with amazing speed and possibly now affecting the number of Cyprus Warblers that I find harder to locate year on year -- Cyprus Wheatear is still very common and Cretzschmar's Bunting easy enough in the hills
