Bird trips to Turkey and Cyprus (May 2010 & June 2015)

I visited the Eastern part of Turkey between 21 May and 06 June 2010. Upon arrival at Adana, we travelled east towards Birecik, up to Cizre near the Syrian border. We subsequently moved north towards lake Van and visited the area around Serpmetas (close to Iranian border). Travelling back towards Adana was undertaken via Dyarbakir and Nemrut Dagi, while we ended up this trip around Silifke and the Tarsus Delta on the mediteranean coast. In 2015, we returned to Antalya during a week (19-26 June) in order to visit one of the recently rediscovered breeding site of Brown Fish Owl, with help of a local guide; we also travelled by boat from Tasucu to Northern Cyprus, with our main target species here being Cyprus Wheatear and Cyprys Warbler. This gallery has 160 images depicting 58 species.
