Aydinlar-Patnos – 21.58 ad. Bulanik.<br />
Does not breed in Turkey, but well known for its massive migration between African winter<br />
quarters and breeding sites in East Europe and <strong>Central</strong> Asia. The migration peaks in May, e.g. 6.5<br />
2004 11.500 at Gölduzu Gölü. At Eilat, Israel, there are <strong>report</strong>s on 20.000 passing Eilat in a few<br />
hour´s in a single day early in May.<br />
What we witnessed in 2005 was a rather massive migration of this most impressive tern - but by no<br />
way exceptional. Anyway, among the aestecical highlights of May birding! Much fewer in 2006,<br />
mainly in the far East.<br />
132. Black-bellied Sandgrouse Pterocles orientalis Sortbuget Sandhøne<br />

Erzek gölu and sultan Sazligi (Niemi 2000, Olof Jönsson per sms). Formerly >500 came <strong>to</strong> drink<br />
Birezik (see Pin-tailed Sandgrouse).<br />
