    27th April Patara Lycian Ruins Last full day in the SW Turkey before heading home. Patara is a magnificent place to visit, I often do it with Liz as part of a beach day. I usually get a few hours to mooch around while she enjoys the beach and her book. Today was a birding day. The entrance fee...

    26th April Koycegiz canal am Overnight we had decided not to do the 6 hour round trip to Bafa Lake and decided for a little lie on and try again for the Bittern at the canal reedbed. Again no luck but after a little perseverance we were rewarded with absolutely crippling views of Great Reed...

    25th April Travelling to Koycegiz for a days birding and a stop over at Blackbird Cottage where we will be meeting Paul in the late afternoon and evening. The idea was to use Paul’s place as a base overnight before heading further North west to Bafa Lake the following day. Before leaving the...

    24th April Decided to stay local and make whistle stop visits to three sights. Firstly we did a portion of the cadianda hill to pick up Kruipers Nuthatch which duly obliged very quickly. We drove down the lower slip slowly hoping for maybe a calling warbler or two or a few shrikes. Within a few...

    23rd April (pt3) Gocu Beli After a fantastic hour a Seki we drove the 20 minutes and further 700m elevation up to Gocu Beli pass. On the lower slopes we stopped for a lesser Spotted Woodpecker which flew off but gained a Perigrine Falcon that circled over us for a few minutes. We reached the...

    23rd April (pt2) Seki After an hour at the Roman bridge we arrived at Seki and parked at the near end of the road opposite a farm track. It was now warm enough to remove the fleece. We walked to the front of the car and were met with a very loud and almost inquisitive White Throated Robin, or...

    23rd April (pt 1) Heading high today to the Gocu Beli pass, I think it’s always a treat to bird in the special location. Today I am Jeff’s guide, he needs a few lifers on this trip so hopefully I can put my now “local Knowledge” to the test and see if i can pin down what he needs. A fairly...

    22nd April Incerkoy Loop am First days birding with Jeff, so hopefully a whole load of year birds this morning. Started off with an Eastern Oliveacous in the rear of the garden before crossing onto the flatland and Incerkoy road. Was actually fairly quiet. The most common species was the Common...
