Last full day and a bit in Cyprus. I had an early flight back home on the 5th but I had enough time to check Oroklini Lake first thing in the morning. No sign of the Terek Sandpiper. Less water and even less waders. I had an impressive list of 23 species of waders though during the trip which I wasn't quite expecting.
I had another look at Larnaca Sewage Works on the 4th. A few nice additions there.

I ended up recording 116 species for the trip. It's a spot that would worth my time doing a Spring trip at some stage to experience Spring migration in full swing along with the possibility of a few lifers such as Cyprus Scops Owl, Caspian Plover and Ruppells Warbler. Full trip list below.
