Side, Turkey

[Simon Elliott]

Some photos from a family holiday to Side in June. Dipped on the Brown Fish Owl unfortunately. The most productive area locally was definitely Akseki, unless you are prepared to travel much further. I drove up to the plateau above Cimikoy which was spectacular and where the birding was much better than elsewhere. Happy to be corrected on any of the identification.
