Birding Tour 2007

This birding tour will be the second birding tour in the country that contributes directly to nature conservation, fully organised and implemented by Turkish bird guides.

Due to a long journey and climatic differences, prepare yourself for an unbelievable birding safari. We know almost all the specific spots of rarely seen bird species in Turkey and we will get support from local guides for fresh birding news in finding these rare birds.
