Accipitridae

A red kite, a medium-sized bird of prey that is rare in Turkish, was spotted in Istanbul.

The bird from the accipitridae family, also known as the hawk or vulture family, was sighted by a birdwatcher near a solid waste disposal site in the Sile district.

Plateaus represent a passion that those who have not grown up with the smell of earth can hardly understand. For more than hundreds of years, these endless Anatolian lands lead our strangely familiar steps to the bosom of the mountains. Time stands still on the plateaus of the eastern Black Sea region until a sudden mist blurs your vision or a goshawk screams to attract you attention.
