We can arrange what you need. The essential guide to birding in south central Turkey is Dave Gosney's 'Finding Birds in Turkey: Ankara to Birecik'. This is surely a must and if you do not have one, you can borrow from our small library. Our name is also in that book. (Part one Page 13) Also We worked with also other famous birders such as Ian Green. Our name is also in his book. A Birdwatchers' Guide to Turkey by Ian Green and Nigel Moorhouse.
