Heirapolis Pamukkale

A long rip off coach trip to a historical gem rapidly getting eroded by modern traits of tourism - capitalism at its finest πŸ₯Έ.

2 Magpie! 2 Little Owl πŸ¦‰πŸ˜‹. Scores of Crested Lark and hundreds of hirundines. A few Serin and Goldfinch. A drumming woodpecker sounded GSW ish but I’ll have to check out its 3/4 congeners 😏.

I trespassed on a Pied Wheatears territory and the male give me some reet earache and a fine display of a war dance. 5 Pieds in total ticked. A pr and probably a distant male Black-eared Wheatear also encountered 😜.

Two isolated sightings of Buzzard hovering and flying over the motorways.
Oh how delicious - from the coach about 30 minutes away from return to hotel a White StorkπŸ˜‹πŸ€£.
