    Side in April

    Hi folks just back from another fantastic family holiday in Turkey. Birding highlights were 3 Brown Fish Owl at the big canyon at Oymapinar lake. We turned up at 10am and jumped on one of the tourist boats, paying only 40 euros for myself and the wife, with our boy going free ! I made sure the...

    Side in April

    Hi Joe, Just to the west of you the areas of Denizkent and Bogazkent should be well worth a look. I also found the area around the north end of Titreyengol lake very productive and the surrounding scrub/wasteland near the D400. Side ruins were outstanding last April and great for a nice walk...

    Side in April

    Whilst watching a Little Crake(I found 3) in a reedy channel I was distracted by a Wryneck in a nearby bush, I had only been on it a few seconds when I heard a horrendous noise behind me, my first ever Smyrna Kingfisher sat in a dead tree ! I was chuffed to bits as I wasn't expecting to see one...

    Side in April

    Ok well no joy on that one but can anybody help with mountain species ? Targets are Rock Thrush and Finsch's Wheatear and wondered if they will be in by mid April ? The 2 sites I will probably try are 'radio tower hill' near Korkuteli and Cimikoy to the east of Akseki. Any info on Crimson Winged...

    Many thanks to you both for your replies. Are there any better sites for Bonelli's in Cadiz province as I will be hiring a car so can travel wherever ? Any info on Eagle Owl, Scops Owl and Red Necked Nightjar sites would be much appreciated. Looking forward to hopefully abit of early raptor...
