Around 2011 or 2012, I discovered an online forum of a rather select group of Mexican birders. It breeds on the shores of the Canadian and Alaskan Arctic, then gathers around the southern arm of Hudson Bay, to fly non-stop all the way to the southern tip of South America. Chestnut-sided Shrike-Vireo : I get game.

I strained to see them, could only see an occasional booby escape our bow, watch some of the hundreds of Wedge-tailed and Pink-footed Shearwaters zip by and hold on as our boat tested its speed. As we approached and drew nearly alongside the small seabirds, we also tested the limits of our optics, our balance, and our focus.

Stemming from Richardson’s decades-long programme of population-mapping on the island, maps in BOC show status (resident, breeding, wintering or passage visitor) but also the region where the species appear and, in case of waterbirds, individual wetlands marked all over the Cyprus map. The other groups are easier and, hence, shown well.

One website states that only 15% of the birds that hatch make it to become first year breeding adults, 6% make it to the second year, and 3% to the third year. Other species – such as starlings or t**s – stealing the nesting site of Eurasian Nuthatches is one of the major reasons for breeding failure.

Secondly, much of the appeal is that this is a bird we don’t see in the UK very often, for Waxwings are an irruptive species, and in most years only a few ever reach our shores from their breeding grounds in the boreal forests of Scandinavia. At the time I was writing about cars, so I recall we travelled in a road-test Porsche.
