Hi Ray,
Yes, it is at the East side of Fethiye Bay at the North end of the beach, do you normally have a car? If so as you drive through Fethiye heading West wirh the sea on your left Calis Beach is signposted and you should see the small reedy area to your left. You will turn left on the road and see a small sign to the reserve on the other side of the road. You will have to drive past to the next roundabout and park on the road close to the sign. It is a small lagoon surrounded by reeds wirh a few gaps to view through. The bay is also a good place to set up your scope as that's where many of the things I saw were.
Hello , In my opinion yes, it all depends on what you mean 'worth it' Obviously April/may would be more productive, but its well worth a trip up there.in my opinion.Would a visit up to Seki/Gogubeli Pass be worthwhile in late September/early October?
Cheers. What would be expected around then?Hello , In my opinion yes, it all depends on what you mean 'worth it' Obviously April/may would be more productive, but its well worth a trip up there.in my opinion.

Seen up Lake Girdev , I'm thinking Hen Harrier any other thoughts ?
I think your correct , what threw us off was it was about two miles away from the lake on a steep decent, flying very low to the ground very much in the style of a hen harrier with flash of white on the rump, quite a dark bird as well. But this photo I think confirms Marsh Harrier , what's the old saying " your looking at horses and seeing Zebras "Agree, these photos and time suggest Marsh.
Any more pics?
It looks like the very pale tail may have looked like a white rump at distance. I've turned Marsh Harriers into all sorts of things in the past!I think your correct , what threw us off was it was about two miles away from the lake on a steep decent, flying very low to the ground very much in the style of a hen harrier with flash of white on the rump, quite a dark bird as well.
