Descripción

Although it hosts many great species, Anti-Taurus Mountains is a complex mountain range. So it is hard to find and observe the birds from reasonably distances. This route gives good opportunities for birders to drive through the inner parts of the mountain range and observe many species from the car. Many alpine species such as Perdigallo del Caspio, Radde's Accentor, Acentor Alpino, Gorrión Alpino, Camachuelo Alirrojo and Serín Frentirrojo are potential species that you can observe on this route. Additionally, it is possible to see Águila Real, Roquero Solitario, Treparriscos, Perdiz chúcar, Trepador Rupestre Occidental and Alondra Cornuda.
