I saw a Little Owl in a tree at the Dalyan Harbour before we board the boat.

Two Little Grebes by the reeds, a Sparrowhawk was disturbed by six Jays over the hill while it was flying and later it disappeared behind the hill but Jays kept flying there and then two Hooded Crows joined the game of the Jays, later three Kestrels appeared at the same location and they started to fly together from one edge to another edge of the rocky cliff and they took the Jays and Hooded Crows away from their territory, at the location where the Nile Turtles seen in the Dalyan Canal.

And also this morning a Kingfisher was caught by a captain in his boat, I told him to let it go and he has done it. It went back its kingdom.
