Turkish IB As: an appeal for 
information 
A list of possible additions to the Important Turkish Bird Areas has been 
prepared in collaboration with DHKD. Members wishing to visit these 
areas should contact Richard Webb or Guy Kirwan, c/o OSME, for 
further information. Any survey work undertaken will be used in the 
preparation of a new list of Turkish IBAs, which is to be compiled over 
the next two years. All contributions will be fully acknowledged.
