Descrição

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 Galo-das-neves do Cáspio, Radde's Accentor, Ferreirinha-alpina, Pardal-alpino, Asa-carmim and Milheirinha-de-testa-vermelha are potential species that you can observe on this route. Additionally, it is possible to see Águia-real, Melro-azul, Trepadeira-dos-muros, Perdiz-chukar, Trepadeira-rupestre and Cotovia-cornuda.
