INFO Target Birds

The target birds section has come about following serveral conversations with different birders who have visited Dalyan. The gist of the conversations revolved around which birds each birder would have on their ‘tick list’ for a visit to the region. This of course is a very personal thing for each of us and will differ from person to person, the target birds list is an amagulation of the most sought after birds in those discussions. Each page will have a description of the bird although many would be obviously identifiable. Sound recordings of calls or songs are available to listen to for some of the species  as an aid to help alert birders to their presence and location. Suggested sites where the birds have been observed are included. 

So from my own experiences and also through the sightings others have reported I have attempted to create my own classification on occurrence and likelihood of seeing each of the 24 target species at the sites discussed within.
My Classification below is based on, where , when & chances, for the incidental birder who is not not on a weeks birding holiday but may do the odd day out birding at one of the mentioned Birding Sites:

Dalyan River Walk

Eskiköy Rocky Outcrop

Classification:

Some Chance (SC) : May see it, with preparation (learn bird call) , low in numbers , may be seasonal.
