A 15 days-long trip to eastern and north-eastern Turkey (East Anatolia and Black Sea Coastline). Main purpose of the trip was to photograph as many as possible regions specialities and to see also a few species that I have missed on my previous two trips to this amazing country, on May/June 2001 and May 2010.
