This year, unlike recent years, they were everywhere - even all over the road. I must have seen at least 25 individuals, often moving around in one large feeding flock. Heavy snow as we arrived was enough to bring these mountain glacier top residents down into the town and what a spectacle it was - lots of these too...
A very successful trip, including an extension into Eastern Turkey for other specialities - LAMMERGEIERS and BLACK VULTURES abounded, and more RED-BACKED SHRIKES than you could ever dream of.....
I have lots more trips to run in 2013, so if birding dawn 'til dusk floats your boat and a bagful of birds, contact me for further details - LGREUK400@aol.com
