Turkey - Day 1

Yesterday
Tomorrow

Together with Raoul and Joseph we decided to do a birding holiday in Turkey.

We will start in Antalya and finish in Van. We're driving the whole trip by car and sleep every night at an other city. Forest, desert, mountains, lakes and wetlands is on our list to check to find new birds (for us). Joseph and Raoul have a list of birds for the westpaleartic an want to fill up their list. I joined them to see more about Turkey, get some good photos and to learn more about birds (Identify + Migration).

 

Yesterday we arrived in Antalya.

 

Today we visit a great area around Akseki. We checked some open lands, forests and valleys!
