We spent a week with the family watching and photographing birds in Armenia. The number of species definitely exceeded our expectations. We moved on a rented Renault Duster 4WD car and slept in a tent. We visited most of the places listed in the birds trip reports from this country. We were particularly based on this report https://www.cloudbirders.com/tripreport/repository/BERTRANDS_ArmeniaGeorgia_0810_2015.pdf
Unfortunately, it could not be seen Radde's accentor and White-throated robin but it's not a problem. Other species rewarded this failure.
In Armenia, there are many places with birds that are not mentioned in popular reports. A week is not enough to find them all, but I recommend two, in which we accidentally went:
Orbelian Caravanserai Area. A very good place for many interesting species. We arrived there in the middle of the night and it was raining in the morning and there was very poor visibility. Because of this, it was impossible to see the area in detail. I took pictures Rock sparrow and Common rosefinch and we had to run away from the storm.
Tatev viewpoint We stopped only for a moment and took pictures Bearded vulture, Griffon vulture and Red-fronted serin.
In my opinion, the best places for birds are Mount Aragats and valleys north from Vedi.
I invite you to see photos of birds. In the signatures I give the place of taking the picture http://szymonbartosz.pl/galeria/ptaki-birds/armenia/.
