THE CAUCASUS & ARMENIA
Tuesday 9th May - Monday 22nd May 2006
Nik Borrow
This interesting tour to Georgia and Armenia is a recent addition to the Birdquest repertoire and encompasses the full range of altitudes and habitats of the Caucasian region. This year we achieved an impressive record total of 224 species in two weeks and managed to see Caucasian specialities such as Caucasian Snowcock, Caucasian Grouse, Green Warbler and Caucasian Chiffchaff. We also found several sought-after species whose ranges only just creep into the Western Palearctic, such as Great Rosefinch, Güldenstädt’s Redstart, See-see Partridge, Rufous-tailed Wheatear, Pale Rockfinch and Grey-necked Bunting. A notable record was of a Sykes’s Warbler. Other specialities included Pygmy Cormorant, Marbled and White-headed Ducks, Levant Sparrowhawk, Armenian Gull, Middle-spotted Woodpecker, Radde’s Accentor, White-throated Robin, Finsch’s Wheatear, Paddyfield, Upcher’s, Ménétries’s and Eastern Orphean Warblers, Semi-collared Flycatcher, Eastern Rock Nuthatch, Red-fronted Serin and Crimson-winged Finch. To top it all, some of us had a close encounter of the furred kind with three Brown Bears!
