First flocks return to Cyprus, dazzling visitors and signaling the start of the season’s migratory magic.

The first group of flamingos has returned to the Larnaca Salt Lake, making a striking pink arrival as they settle in for the winter. Drawn by Cyprus' warmer climate and the promise of a good meal, these early arrivals are just the beginning. In the coming weeks, more flocks are expected to touch down, transforming the salt flats into a haven of pink and white feathers.

Every year, the salt lake becomes a temporary home to thousands of these graceful birds, attracting locals, tourists, and nature lovers eager to catch a glimpse of their unique beauty. For now, these first arrivals are setting the scene, waiting for the rains that will bring more food and create an ideal environment for the rest of the flock.

Authorities are urging people to enjoy the sight from a respectful distance, reminding visitors not to disturb the birds by entering the salt flats or using drones nearby. Instead, the Aliki Larnaca Observatory offers a perfect vantage point for anyone wanting to experience this seasonal spectacle.

So, grab your binoculars, settle in at the observatory, and enjoy the peaceful return of Larnaca’s most anticipated winter guests.
