A Cormorant and a Yellow-legged Gull standing on a rock together on the north rocks by the shore. Heard the call of a Scops Owl in the west forest at 20:00. A Great Tit, a Blackbird, House Sparrows and Collared Doves.

Swifts arrived Turunç. Two Swifts seen on the north, they flew together with House Martins and Barn Swallows and then flew to the east. A Common Buzzard seen over the peaks on the northwest of Turunç where there is a hotel on the hillslopes, and it kept its site in flight like hovering for a couple of seconds, then flew to the west and disappeared behind the peaks. Bee-eaters arrived Turunç. I heard their calls but I could not spot them. Heard the calls of two Scops Owls from the forest on the west at 20:00. A Great Tit, a Blackcap, a Jay, Collared Doves and House Sparrows, too.
