Owls of Orcun villa.

A regular sighting on my walks to kayakoy are the little owls. Always sitting in the shade of the chimneys around Orcun villa in the holiday town of Hisaronu. I have stayed in the villa a few times and am very pleased with the location and birdwatching habitat that surrounds the accommodation.

Rocky Moments !!

Spending time around kayakoy is fun. And having to climb over the ruins of the ghost town, to try and locate the Nuthatch & then too catch a sparkle in the eye was a risky business and one I'm still hoping to achieve!!!.

Chasing the Chukar.

I was trying to avoid the heat hase so spent some time trying to get closer to this Chukar on the rocky slopes of Kayakoy. But he really didn't want to play game for me.

Shrikes nearly missed it !!!

Nearly missed this shrike, it was only that i saw his tail flicking from side to side that gave him away sitting on top of the bush waiting to pounce on his next unsuspecting victim.

Rollers rolling up.

An evening around the ruins at Kayakoy, Turkey produced these breeding rollers. And with the warm temperatures and bright light made the photography more enjoyable.
