Hi all,
I'm going to be in Yerevan next week for a work trip, and was wondering if anyone knew how feasible it is to bird there without a car? Unfortunately I cannot drive. Armash Fishponds looks like its a very good site, but unless anyone knows of a guide who could take me there it looks unlikely I'd manage to get there.
Perhaps Sevan would be a better option? Looks like there are some transport options there from Yerevan, or perhaps I could take a taxi (assuming I'd be able to get a taxi in Sevan to take me home?). Does anyone know if Uber or any related apps have a presence in Armenia?
Or perhaps, staying even more locally,
My target birds for the trip are European Roller, European and/or Blue-Cheeked Bee-Eater and Armenian Gull, but it looks like a massive fraction of the expected birds there would be lifers for me! I'm not sure how likely Wallcreeper, White-Tailed Lapwing or Red-Billed Chough are in Armenia, but any of those would be fantastic too.
Thanks!
