Early AM flight to Kayseri and transfer to the remarkable "fairy
chimney" landscape of Cappadoccia around the village (aka developing
tourist trap) of Goreme. The only highlight of the drive to Goreme was a
group of approximately seven
Calandra Larks flying low over the car.
An exploration of the outdoor museum, which includes a series of 200
rock-hewn churches dating back to the 11th century, revealed some avian
interest in the form of
ochruros Black Redstart, two
Rock Buntings, a single
Rock Petronia,
several pairs of
Western Rock Nuthatch,
Blackcap, 50+
Alpine Swifts,
brief views of an unidentified
lark spp, and several
Spotted Flycatchers.
