Western Turkey May 24-June 7, 2006

  • During the two weeks in Turkey, I managed to find a little less than 100 species, about a third of which were life birds for me.  I consider the total a satisfying number...Mike Tanis reports.

Where to watch birds around Istanbul, based on a stay in the city October 2004 - July 2005.

  • The two birding highlights of a visit to the city are a boat trip on the Bosphorus and raptor passage....Michael Grunwell reports.

Bayram, Turkey 13th – 15th November 2004

  • With a total of four days off work and based in Istanbul I decided to hire a car and drive south, I had no clear plan just a general desire to see some mountain birds. I knew that distances in Turkey are vast but I wanted to see just how easy a long drive across Anatolia would be....Michael Grunwell reports

Central Anatolia and the Aegean Coast May 15th - June1 2001

  • This was a holiday to the Western half of Asiatic Turkey which was intended to combine some of the well known (and a few lesser known) tourist sites with an element of bird watching. Fortunately this combination was not difficult and many of the areas visited yielded both good birds and interesting locations...Chris Cameron reports
