Description

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 Tétraogalle de Perse, Radde's Accentor, Accenteur alpin, Niverolle alpine, Roselin à ailes roses and Serin à front rouge are potential species that you can observe on this route. Additionally, it is possible to see Aigle royal, Monticole bleu, Tichodrome échelette, Perdrix choukar, Sittelle de Neumayer and Alouette haussecol.
