Birds of Turkey
Turkey is a great for bird watching thanks to its location on two key important bird immigration routes, its range of habitats and numerous wetlands. Its vast size of over 800,000 km2, surrounded on three sides by seas, serves as a bridge between three continents, and a great range of climatic zones co-exist due to its topography. The northern belt of humid forest, contrasts markedly with the arid majority of the country. This very high diversity of habitats, makes Turkey possibly the best country for birds and birding in Europe.
