The Lycian Coast
Sunday 6th April
|
We drove very slowly up Olympos Dagi along a rock strewn road with some dodgy moments. The driver was magnificent. We found a yellow romulea and a Galanthus elwesii at Uçoluk, but not a great deal else. We had an early lunch as Pierre and Michelle were moving on to Tajikistan. We had a look round Phaselis on Adrasan Bay. A couple were having wedding photos taken at the theatre. Phil saw some dragonflies at a muddy pond and we saw some of them. A kingfisher posed, but not near enough for a snap. We went on to walk by a stream and saw many birds in a meadow, including a woodpecker, bulbil, hoopoe, woodchat and plover. |
