Bunting Valley

My friend Ali took me to a recently flooded valley while i was away. known as koy kent (yayla patlangic village).I couldnt prounce that so i called it Bunting valley hence the various Buntings seen there. This area looks really promising for future visits.

Singing Serin

The sound of Serin fill the air at most of the Turkish sites that i visit. I Just wish id got better pictures of the Red Fronted variety, still theres always next time. 

Trouble at Temel !!

After having 3 days of rain in Olu deniz, i decided that as soon as the sun appeared i would head for a new site i had discovered the last time i was here. The village of Temel is situated to the east of fetiyhe in the mountains.I pulled of the road by a stone bridge crossing the river and was soon watching this White throated robin. But it wasn't long before i was joined by the local jandama (Turkish police). After practising my Turkish language skills, i was soon accompanying them to the local police station. Then after a further 2 hour's and lots of phone calls to friends in Fethiye the jandama relized i wasn't James bond and i was released.

Colourful moment.

My first trip back to The ghost town of kaya koy in 18 months, started with the happy chuckling
 sound of the Bee-eaters filling the warm morning air.
