Birdwatching tour of Brown Fish Owls at the Green Canyon in Manavgat - Vigo Tours
(The price is for night observation on the mountain, not by boat on the lake)

Enjoy a guided private bird-watching tour for the Brown Fish Owls of the Green Canyon at the Taurus Mountains in Manavgat. This is a good chance to see unusual birds in their own environment.

There are 2 pairs of Brown fish owl at the lake about 2 miles distance each other. They have been breeding at the same places for many years. Their breeding is usually of 2 eggs but we used to see of 1 juvenile some of the years. So as you can guess of it that either eggs was empty or 1 egg delivered, or an attack was made to the nest by ravens. One good news to know is that the population of fish owls are increasing. We do not see the new generation easily but yes they are for sure in the area. The new generation is geneticly do live an owls life. This is the reason of why we do not see them easily. Not only the lake but We have some more spots of Brown fish owls in the area. We follow up the population of brown fish owls seriously in Manavgat and Akseki zone.

Meeting time : 04:00 – 04:30

Meeting place : Total Petrol Station D400 road ancient town Side junction

For many years the Brown Fish Owls were thought to be extinct in the Western Palearctic. There are historic records from Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Syria, and Turkey that indicate a much larger presence, but there had been no sightings until a pair was found by chance at Green Canyon. There are not many people who saw them, but you can do this without any serious efforts.

After the meet outside Side, drive to the lake located 20 km up at the Taurus Mountains. Sail out on a private boat, drifting quietly through the Grand or Little Canyon where the owls are known to have nests. Nature views are really amazing there and will allow you to relax.
