of the sesaonal distribution which includes all Turkish records. A map of records 
is included. 
White-tailed Flover Chettusia leucura M. Kasparek, Sandgrouse 13 1991 (in press) 
All Turkish records were mapped, with different symbols for confirmed breeding, 
presumed breeding and migrants. 
Sociable Plover Chettusia gregaria M. Kasparek, Sandgrouse 13 (in press) The 
Sociable Plover is a migrant in both seasons. All available records are shown on 
a map and the migration periods are described and discussed in relation to other 
Middle Eastern countries. 
Turnstone Arenaria interpres M. Kasparek, Beitr. Vogelkde. (in press) All Turkish 
records were evaluated . A map shows the distribution of migrants. The size of the 
symbols shows the number of records. The phenology in Turkey is shown with 
a histogram of all records. 
Pheasant Phasianus colchicus M. Kasparek, Verh. orn. Ges. Bayern 24 (6), 1988: 
725-735. Maps show the distribution during the last century, the present 
distribution and indicate those localities where Pheasants occur after introduction 
by man. The gene pool of the natural population is being lost. 
Osprey Pandion haliaetus M. Kasparek, Limicola 3, 1989:251-255. All Turkish 
records were mapped with different symbols for breeding records, passage 
records and winter records. There is no recent Turkish breeding record and the 
population is believed to be less than 10 pairs. The phenology of migrants is 
shown in a histogram. 
Eleonora's Falcon Falco eleonorae M. Kasparek and D. Ristow, Zoology in the 
Middle East 1, 1986: 60-69. A table and map of all Turkish reocrds is presented and 
the seasonal appearance of Eleonora's Falcons along the Turkish coasts is 
discussed. The only known breeding site is not shown for reasons of site security. 
Palm Dove Streptopelia senegalensis M. Kasparek, Verh. om. Ges. Bayern (in 
press). All localities where Palm Doves were recorded are shown on a map with 
different symbols for breeding or possible breeding sites. Another map shows the 
present distribution in the Levant countries up to Egypt. Although the Palm 
Dove colonised new localities in Turkey, the overall breeding area has not grown 
significantly during recent decades. 
Purple Gallinule Porphyria porphyrio M. Kasparek, C. C. Bilgin and A. Akin, 
Zoology in the Middle East 3, 1989: 19-30. All breeding sites in the eastern 
Mediterranean are mapped. Former breeding localities are shown with the 
approximate year of extinction. The Goksii Delta proved to be the last breeding 
site of P. p. seistanicus in the eastern Mediterranean. Its population is thought to 
be less than 30 pairs. 
Little Bustard Tetrax tetrax M. Kasparek, Bustard Studies 4, 1989: 80-113. All 
Turkish records are mapped. Different symbols indicate records fromthe breeding 
season. The Little Bustard was a local breeding bird in all of Turkey, but has 
apparently disappeared recently. No record from the last decade was available.
