Syria April 2nd - 11th

  • This was the second tour to Syria operated by Birdwatching Breaks following our ground-breaking tour of 2006. Once again the country demonstrated what excellent birding it can offer, with specialities including Northern Bald Ibis, Iraq Babbler, Syrian Serin, White-cheeked Bulbul and a wide selection of migrants and late wintering species all recorded during the course of the trip...Chris Bradshaw reports for Birdwatching Breaks.

Turkey and Syria 11-26 August 2007

  • Hoopoe Lark was common along the road from the highway to the reserve, what a great bird! In the reserve we had only one goal: seeing Pharaoh Eagle Owl....Sander Bot reports.

Syria 19th – 26th September 2002

  • The main objective of our trip to Syria was to see Iraq Babbler, a species only recently found to be present along the river Euphrates around Deir-es-Zor, hundreds of miles from known nest sites in Iraq. The prospect of good numbers of migrants and the chance to make an ornithological discovery in this very underwatched country also appealed....Dominic Le Croissette reports
