Turkey August 2022
Turkey is so not Europe.... It should be in 'Middle East'. Anyway, few pieces of information which I recently discovered, while driving 3.500 km around East Turkey, 15th to 23rd August: Motel Mirkelam (Birecik) is closed, perhaps for good? There are no other reasonable options in Birecik. In... -

Mt. Mitutouge/Mitsutoge

Two more territories were discovered later on. Remarkably, there was also a Japanese Night Heron at the first site... -

Fuerteventura; a new species for the WP?
Hi, while at Costa Calma, Fuerteventura, 12th of March, I encountered this dove at the middle section of the 'Costa Calma Woodland', the planted woods long the coastal highway. It probably still is there, if alive, as there are limited sources of food and water in the area. To me, it looks...- Petri
