    What will your targets be in winter? I was thinking how you could make up a good varied trip in winter with a few days' skiing and maybe some visits to archaeological sites. But I wasn't sure there would be much good birding to do.

    I saw a wild animal in Goreme and my first thought was that it was some sort of cat. It had very mottled fur. It vanished from sight before I could get a photo. I later saw another animal much closer with similar fur Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes), and realised that clearly both animals were foxes.

    Ah yes, thanks for pointing that out. Too much reliance on iNaturalist's auto-suggestions on my part. So that means I didn't see Finsch's at Birecik. I actually wonder about the Kizilkuyu birds too, because Collins says Finsch's breeds on barren mountainsides and rocky plateaux. This was...

    I didn't take any GBP cash with me, but I think the reality is that it would be a big mistake to do so and try to change it there. I did take some euro, which was widely accepted, but mostly I used bank cards and I got 20.9 for the pound on my latest payment.

    I got the wheatear at Nemrut Dag. Two singing males on the mountain. I also found Finsch's Wheatears more easily than it sounds like you did, seeing them at Aladaglar, Birecik and Kizilkuyu. Well, I think so, anyway, you can see the photos Observations. Maybe you were a little early for the...

    Thanks, I got good views of one there. I also saw the lapwing at Kizilkuyu. Off to Nemrut Dag tomorrow where I will look for the wheatear.

    Thanks. Do you have any directions to the tree where your friends found the roosting owls? I guess they are likely still to be there.

    I'm heading there next week. Was there much snow still on the Aludaglar Mountains? I'm thinking of going higher than the traditional snowcock site. Also, did you get Radde's Accentor?
