14th April 2013 Cape Greco & Achna Dam W2 Clear

Awoke to W2 that veered to S2 as the day progressed. Arrived at the cape to again find hunters and dogs running everywhere so we again relocated to the Picnic Area. We then tried the Cyclops Cave headland at Konnos Bay before driving to Achna Dam where we found a male Little Crake and an adult Great Spotted Cuckoo. We then returned to the ploughed stubble field, the pines and the cape in the evening.
