I left my house and headed to Lez’s, where I would leave my car and Graeme would pick us up. From here it was on to Ians and then off to Manchester.27 July 2009 Monday
We arrived at Manchester with no problems and after we had parked the car at the long term car park and taken the transfer bus we got checked in straight away. We left late but arrived at Istanbul on time, we only had a short time between landing and departure on the next flight so arriving on time was a bonus. Once off the plane and into the airport, we stood in a huge queue at passport control for ages only to be told that we were in the wrong queue and that we had to purchase our visas first before going to passport control! So back to the visa desk where the queue was now minimal and we got the required passport sticker/visa that cost £10 and then back to passport control and we were quickly stamped and on our way, a mad dash through the airport to get to our gate in domestic departures for the short hop flight to Adana. We made it with minutes to spare for the stated departure time, got checked in and then once we were on the plane we were held on the tarmac waiting for all the other connecting flights that had arrived late as well!
28 July 2009 Tuesday
We landed at Adana about 15 minutes late and on leaving the plane the blast of heat was unreal, I thought it might have been exhaust from the plane’s engines, but no it was the air temperature, and this was after midnight. A very helpful person on the tarmac directed us to international arrivals to collect our bags, when we should have been at domestic arrivals! We were loaded onto a mini bus for the twenty meter drive back to domestic arrivals and we then collected our bags, the only ones left by this time. The good fellow from the car hire company was waiting for us with a board with my name on it and we were soon on our way. We drove back West for quite some way before we came to Mersin and then the road signs just disappeared and we had to guess which way to go, we guessed wrong! After being lost for about 10 minutes the road we needed to be on was re-found and on we went. We stopped along the route to try and get some sleep but we had no joy with that, so the journey was resumed till we took an early morning stop for coffee just as it was the sky was starting to show signs that dawn was on its way. We carried on and arrived at Dermicili (36°25'49.17"N 33°56'59.37"E), just as the sun was peeping over the hills. Birds then started to come thick and fast, Little Owl followed by Western Rock Nuthatch (which I didn’t see as I was putting in my contact lenses and had managed to poke myself in the eye and I had both eyes screwed up tight). A little further up the road is the first of Dermicilis two graveyards and it was here that we stopped next. Just out of the car and I get Western Rock Nuthatch back, with two on the roadside wires. In the cemetery we have Masked Shrike, Spectacled Bulbul, Eastern Oliveacous Warbler, Olive-tree Warbler and Sombre Tit. On the way out a Red-veined Darter dragonfly is seen. Just before we leave a wheatear is seen which was probably an Eastern Black-eared but the views were brief and inconclusive. The next stop is the second cemetery at the other end of the village. A hose running into a can, that was overflowing, was a water feature and the birds were using it; Goldfinch, Greenfinch, Sombre Tit, Syrian Woodpecker, Jay, Cretzsmars Bunting and Krüper’s Nuthatch. Leaving here we carried on up the road towards Uzuncaburç and stopped at good looking habitat (36°31'24.52"N 33°57'42.39"E). The birds were unobtrusive in the heat at this stop but the butterflies were busy, Swallowtail flitting about and Cardinal were numerous.
The next stop was for an Eastern Black-eared Wheatear that was perched on the roadside wires. We had a walk around the ruins at Uzuncaburç (36°34'50.74"N 33°55'28.19"E) seeing a family party of Eastern Black-eared Wheatear, Masked Shrike, Eastern Orphean Warbler and a Blue Rock Thrush. A random stop on the way back down the road and more Cretzsmars Bunting were seen as were a small group of Rock Sparrow and a family party of Masked Shrike and an obliging Scarce Swallowtail butterfly. By now its mid afternoon and the heat is over powering so we head Taşucu and book into the Lades Motel where we have an easy afternoon just chilling in the rooms with the air conditioning on, during the hottest part of the afternoon. Later, as the temperature starts to drop to just the high 90s we head for the Goksu Delta. Purple Gallinule, Purple Heron, Crested Lark, Graceful Warbler, Penduline Tit, a migrating flock of Ruff and a Woodchat Shrike are the pick of the best. And then its dark so back to the hotel a quick shower and out for an evening meal, with the Baba restaurant just next door and a table on the shores of the Mediterranean it was rather nice and romantic, it's a pity I was sharing the table with three hairy arsed blokes (& the food was good as well). We stayed overnight at the Lades Motel at Taşucu, a little out dated and in need of a refurbishment.
29 July 2009 Wednesday
The planned early departure this morning was delayed by the fact that the car had a puncture. The owner of the hotel called a garage who sent out a fitter who came on a moped with all the tools he needed. It turns out that we had a screw in the tyre that had damaged the side wall, so we had to buy a new (to the car) tyre. The fitter would put on the spare and we were to follow him to the garage, but the nut that has to be turned to lower the spare just turned it did not lower the spare, so the fitter went away and came back with a whole wheel, fitted that and then we followed him to the garage where a guy did a quick weld that enabled the spare to be lowered and the tyre was changed and we were on our way. That delay cost us 2 hours.
We headed back to Dermicili and had a wander around the first cemetery. The best thing I saw here was a dragonfly, Violet Dropwing. A Little Owl was perched in the same place as yesterday, showing well, but today we were later on site and due to the heat, the bird activity was much quieter. From here we set off to bird around the Durnalik area (37°10'14.87"N 37°11'27.83"E) after a long drive and during which we used the toll road, much quicker and not expensive at all, we arrived at the site. While sitting in the car reading the notes on the site a male White-throated Robin was found just by the side of the car and later, further up the road an Eastern Orphean Warbler showed well enough for some pictures. Higher up the valley (37 09 11.0 N 037 10 33.2 E) Eastern Rock Nuthatch showed briefly, Upcher’s Warbler showed nicely but no Red-tailed Wheatear at this regular site. A bit frustrating up here as birds could be glimpsed moving but when looked for could not be found. At dusk we set off to try and find accommodation nearby. After passing all the way through Gaziantep and not seeing anywhere to stay, we made the decision to carry on and ended up at Birecek, at the Hotel Mirkelem (37° 1'42.27"N 37°58'9.58"E). It’s at the side of the road just before the bridge crosses the River Euphrates and it’s a truck / coach stop and in our room I could hear every scrape of a every chair on the floor of the restaurant and every loud speaker announcement of coach departures, it was a long sleepless night.
30 July 2009 Thursday
A bit of a late start today, we are not out till 07:00! We drove east over the river and then north along the east bank till we came to the wadi where the captive Bald Ibis are held(37° 2'50.81"N 37°59'3.17"E) A slow walk through here gave us a covey of See-see Partridge and further up Menetrie’s Warbler. Walking back down the wadi a Bladetail Dragonfly was encountered, an excellent find! A little further up the road the next wadi had no birds (37° 3'32.45"N 37°58'41.22"E) so we drove back into Birecek for a cup of coffee, while having this we scanned the gulls on the river, Caspian, Black-headed and Slender-billed. We drove back along the road past the Ibis Wadi towards Halfeti, where we walked another wadi with a track and had a probable Yellow-throated Sparrow, which flew off strongly. When we went to the next track (37° 3'38.45"N 37°58'16.08"E) we realised that the previous track had been the wrong place, this track at least two Yellow-throated Sparrows and a Dead Sea Sparrow. From here we went back to Birecek, it was now the hottest part of the day so we went to the Gulhaine Cafe (37° 1'14.97"N 37°58'28.81"E ) “The” famous owl cafe and ordered some tea and sat down to drinks and in mere minutes we had seen three Pallid Scops Owl and a Long-eared Owl. We stayed here for about two hours firstly watching the owls surrounded by interested locals then talking with a Turkish English teacher (as we came through town, a temperature guage read 46 dergrees centigrade and when we mentioned this, he said the previous week it had been 52 degrees centigrade) who was good enough to order us some lunch.
We retreated back to our air conditioned rooms for an hour or so before heading out towards the southern side of town on the east bank of the river Euphrates (37° 0'14.73"N 37°57'56.58"E) to wander around the gravel pits. Birds seen here include Desert Finch, Graceful Warbler, plenty of White-winged Black Terns and Pygmy Cormorants, Moustached Warbler and then about 45 minutes before dusk we saw at least four Iraq Babblers, one of which showed really well as it perched on some reeds with food in its beak. We then went back to the hotel via the Gulhaine Cafe “the” famous owl cafe, where we had the three owls hunting at the southern part of the tea gardens and into the park beside the cafe.
31 July 2009 Friday
Today we are up early and head back to the gravel pits to the south of Birecek. Once we were clear of the mad bad dogs that were chasing the car, we stopped at the same place as last night. The target here for me was Black Francolin, and after listening to a strange unknown call a female Black Francolin was seen running along a track and then later crossing the same track. The water in the river was down from yesterday and today there are waders to be seen, Little Ringed Plover, Temminck’s and Little Stint, loads of Green Sandpiper and Common Sandpiper. Forty Desert Finch were on show today and in the same area were Dead Sea Sparrow. Today instead of having to wander around looking for them, the Iraq Babblers came to us as we were stood on the track, three birds flew in to the vegitation on the bank we were stood on and one of them came out and showed itself on the track. After leaving the hotel we drove up towards Halfeti, eventually stopping near the village of Yeşilözen. After finding somewhere to park, we headed off onto the nearby hill, and all was very quiet, two Eastern Rock Nuthatch and a Chukar were all that was seen.
Back at the car a bird seen not very well had all the the symptoms of Red-tailed Wheatear, we followed it all over the roadside orchard but lost it and being unable to get no clear views I left it unclaimed.
We left the Birecek area, joined the toll road and went Gaziantep, after driving around and being unable to find a cheap hotel, we tried our luck at one of the expensive ones, and we booked into the Grand Hotel Gaziantep (37° 4'22.02"N 37°22'18.60"E). When we went in and checked the prices we were expected to pay, I asked the guy on the desk if there were any cheaper hotels nearby as their price was too high for us, he looked at us and said that he could do us a deal, so we got to stay in the Gaziantep Grand Hotel, a five star no less.
After checking in we went back along the road to the Durnalik area and tried the road to Isikli. On the hillside above the village we had a small flock of buntings, Cinereous and Cretzschmars. We were stopped at the side of the road just having a look around as the dusk was setteling when a van load of locals drove up on a tractor and stopped, a guy jumped off the trailer and handed us plums and corgettes! The plums were superb.
1 August 2009 Saturday
We didn’t leave the hotel till after 08:00 as there was an excellent breakfast to be had and then we drove around trying to find somewhere on the way out of town that had bottles of drinking water to buy. Finally we found a shop in a little village but it only had two bottles, so a bottle of pop was also bought. We then we went on another trek around the hills of the Durnalik area and again failed to see our target birds; Red-tailed Wheatear and Pale Rock Sparrow. But we did see more White-throated Robin, loads of Rock Sparrows and two Semi-collard Flycatchers in an orchard (37° 8'32.42"N 37° 9'17.05"E). We left here and drove back to Adana where we tried the same ploy as last night at the Adana Hilton, alas they would not budge on the price so we found a nearby hotel that was the same price as last night but this one wasn’t five star. We booked in and had a quick wash and then we went south towards Karataş to the well known site for White-breasted Kingfisher (36°55'3.80"N 35°21'11.85"E). We followed the directions and ended up at a gate being confronted by some savage looking dogs. So we did not stay here but retreated to the nearby sluice gate from where we watched seeing one kingfisher close and another further downstream. We then crossed over to the other side and after a check with a guy on the gate we drove down the track on the other side of the stream and watched from there (36°54'58.90"N 35°21'0.08"E) seeing one kingfisher, hearing another and also seeing a Common Kingfisher. Overnight at Butik Hotel princess Maya (36°59'30.58"N 35°19'45.80"E)
2nd August 2009 Sunday
Leaving Adana we head north and dont stop until we reach Kolsuz Geçiti (37°45'36.88"N 34°34'7.13"E) where we have a short break. While stopped we see Isabelline Wheatear, Short-toed Lark and a Green Sandpiper. Just as we move off a perched raptor is looked at and its a Short-toed Eagle and more Isabelline Wheatears are seen as we are stopped here. We continue on through Bor, to Nigde and then we stop to have a look at the Akkaya Barrage (37°55'56.30"N 34°37'19.18"E). The place is lifting with birds; Greater Flamingo are most visible as there are 375 of them, Black-necked Grebe 8, Squacco Heron 6, a Black Stork, Ruddy Shelduck 15, White-headed Duck 6, Short-toed Eagle 2, A Long-legged Buzzard, Black-winged Stilt 75, Spur-winged Plover 2, Marsh Sandpiper 3 and 100 plus Wood Sandpipers. Also here a flock of 40 Yellow Wagtails that all appear to be feldegg Black-headed Wagtail.
Leaving here we set off to cross the hills on the road that goes through the village of Kaynarca. Our first stop was at (37°48'30.16"N 34°44'48.51"E) Lesser Grey and Masked Shrike here. Next stop at (37°47'47.35"N 34°48'17.08"E) Peregrine, White-throated Robin, Red-backed Shrike, Spanish Sparrow and Black-headed Bunting. A short stop at (37°47'43.43"N 34°50'44.74"E) where have a juvenile Shore Lark, a small flock of Rock Sparrow and an Ortolan Bunting and then the next stop at (37°47'50.27"N 34°52'2.88"E) was excellent. A flock of 50 plus Bimaculated Larks, more Shore Larks, Isabelline Wheatear and Black-headed Bunting.
From here it was just a short drive down to the village of Çukurbag where we would be staying at the Oz Safak Pension (37°50'12.62"N 35° 2'49.08"E)
3rd August 2009 Monday
We had booked in advance with Ali Safak of Ozsafak Pension to do the trip up to the disused chromium mine (37°53'21.90"N 35° 9'29.15"E) that has become the place to see Caspian Snowcock. This meant we had to be up at 0330 am for the tractor ride. We set of from the pension in the car following Ali’s direction, and when we came to Pinabarsi it was off road (37°52'53.26"N 35° 6'34.55"E) and onto a dirt track that went up the mountain. On the way up four Nightjars were seen, one of them hovering just in front of the car. We arrived at the spot to stop which is at 2000 meters (37°54'30.34"N 35° 9'8.20"E) and have a coffee from Ali as we wait for the tractor, which arrived a short time later. It’s a bit precarious on the tractor; there is a wooden platform on the back that holds two comfortably and the other seats are the tractor mudguards. Health and safety wouldn’t allow this in the UK that’s for sure.
So we head off into the darkness climbing up all the time and when we arrive at the site its light enough to see where we have come from and the track we came up, scary!. As soon as the tractor is turned off we can here Caspian Snowcock calling. After a short time, two Caspian Snowcock are found on the crag opposite, which is still a long way off, these two slowly make their way up the mountain and round the crag out of sight. Still plenty happening, two Alpine Accentors are about as is a Black Redstart. High overhead a pair of Golden Eagle pass over and plenty of chough, both Red-billed and Alpine. Another Snowcock is heard calling and it seems to be close, then a whirr of wings and a Snowcock is seen in flight, though it’s not that close, I even manage some pictures. Ali and the tractor driver have left leaving us to walk back to the car, birding as we go. A large flock of Snowfinch are seen as are a couple of Red-fronted Serin.
We get back to the car a slowly make our way back towards the pension, birding from the car. More White-throated Robins are seen, Red-backed Shrikes seem to be on every other bush, Turtle Doves are on the track as are Northern Wheatear but there is no sign of Finsch’s Wheatear, its supposed to be easy here. Back at the pension we have breakfast and make plans to find Radde’s Accentor, we didn’t see them on the walk back down, when most others see them doing this. We have a try on the track to the old snowcock site (37°51'16.76"N 35° 5'45.30"E) but none are seen. We do have a run in with a warden / ranger who is demanding money from us for being here. Apperently its a national park and you have to have a permit! Having read a shed load of trip reports before coming, and not one mentions having to pay, I was reluctant to part with cash as I thought we were being ripped off, but the ranger type person had Ali’s mobile number on his mobile so he phoned him and then gave the phone to Graeme who then confirmed that we had to pay.
We head back to where we had been this morning to have another look lower down and see if we can get Radde’s Accentor and yet again we draw a blank! We see more White-throated Robins, a couple of Rock Thrush and there now seems to be a lot of Turtle Doves in the area. Its getting late so its back to the pension for the night
4th August 2009 Tuesday
This morning we take the car back up to the 2000 meter point where we parked yesterday and set off on foot along the lower track. A covey of 20 or so Chukar are flushed from the side of the track, a flock of 21 Alpine Swift come charging through, a Water Pipit is found, Rock Nuthatch and Black Redstart are conspicuous, Rock Sparrows into the 20’s, Snow Finch and Red-fronted Serin are still in the same area, and then I feel that nature is calling so head of to find the spot and as I find the spot I also find two Raddes Accentor (37°54'3.82"N 35° 9'46.47"E), I can see Lez, a long way below me and a long way off, I can see Graeme, a long way above me and a long way off, I manage to get thier attention and direct them to the birds but of Ian there is no sign. I walk back and I’m almost back to the car before I see Ian, so we then have a long walk back up to 2200 meters where occaisionally the birds show well enough to get some reasonable shots.
We head back towards the pension stopping at the big gorge seeing another Golden Eagle and little else. Back at the pension I grab a quick shower and then we pack the gear into the car and we’re off, back over the road through the hills, sadly its not as good as the other day. There are a few folks around, 2 where we had the Bimaculated Larks so there are no big numbers today, just a single nearby. We head back to the Akkaya Barrage where we stay till its dark. While here we find a flock of Hoopoe, that seem to increase by one every time we count them, in the end we have 23. This site is excellent well worth the time we spent here on the two visits.
And thats it, its dark and now all we have to do is drive back to Adana and catch the flight to Istanbul and then to Manchester, where we arrive safely, which is more than can be said about the luggage of Ian and me. Greames and Lez’s bags are almost the first onto the carousel and eventually there are no more bags coming through! Ians turned up the next day, mine three days later, who knows where they had been.
