AVITOPIA - Birds of Turkey

Turkey has more breeding bird species than any other country in the Western Palearctic. This fact is due to the wide diversity of habitats, with mountains, deserts, coasts, forests, and lakes. Turkey has about 40 national parks, which were partially established to promote tourism and recreation and partially to protect landscapes and nature. 14 areas are protected according to the Ramsar Convention. Any time of the year can be rewarding in Turkey, with April to September having the greatest variety of bird species. Of course, for spectacular raptor passage the Bosporus is excellent in September.This multilingual (en, de, fr, es, ja, cn) bird guide introduces the complete birdlife of Turkey in color. As a bonus, links to HD videos to more than 155 bird species and to audios of more than 85 species are included. Maybe a substitute for a real visit! Where available, links to the valuable websites of UNESCO, BirdLife International and the Ramsar Organization are provided, which characterize the country and help to find the best sites for birdwatching.
