139 Acrocephalus 25 (122): 139 – 148, 2004 1. Introduction Turkey possesses diverse habitat types due to the varying climatic and topographic conditions and it lies on two main bird migratory routes. The avifauna is therefore rich. The ornithological importance of Turkey has been demonstrated by many researchers, national and international (e.g. Ergene 1945, Kumerloeve 1963, Beyazıt 1982, Beaman 1986, Sıkı 1988, KiziroĞlu 1989, Martins 1989, Eames 1990 & 1991, Kasparek 1992, Ayvaz 1993, Kirwan & Martins 1994 & 2000, Kirwan 1995, Kilıç 1999, Kirwan et al. 1999). In spite of this, some parts of Anatolia have not been studied adequately due to the recent security restrictions and to the extreme climatic conditions (Kirwan & Martins 1994, Magnin & Yarar 1997). However, a few studies are available from certain localities in South-eastern Anatolia (Biricik 1996, Kilıç 2001, KarakaŞ & Kılıç 2001 & 2002). The region constitutes the intersection area between Anatolia and the Middle East. An avifaunistic survey will help to evaluate and monitor future changes in the avifauna. It will also be helpful in preparing distribution maps in the region and for establishing its conservation status. 2. Study area and Method 2.1. Study area Karacadağ (7200 km2) is an isolated, inactive volcanic mountain in South-eastern Anatolia, which divides the region in the Diyarbakır basin from the Şanlıurfa plateau. The highest peak of the mountain is Mergimir (1981 m a.s.l.). Other high peaks are Kollubaba (1957 m a.s.l.) and Besrek (1350 m a.s.l.). Some streams exist in the area, many of which dry out during the summer. The region has a typical steppe climate with an average temperature of 15°C, maximum of 42°C (July) and minimum of -2.7°C (January). Precipitation occurs primarily in winter and spring with an average of 491 mm/year (based on data of last 61 years); snowfalls occur during the winter, sometimes also in November and March (Turkish State Meteorological Service unpubl). In some parts of the area there are paddy fields. On Karacadağ the most important tree species are two species of Oak (Quercus brantii, Q. infectoria boissieri,), two species of Celtis (C. glabrata, C. tournefortii), three species of Crataegus (C. aronia var. aronia, C. monogyna monogyna, C. orientalis var. orientalis), Nettle Pistacia khinjuk, Wild Pear Pyrus syriaca var. syriaca and Ash tree Fraxinus angustifolia angustifolia. In the open areas, especially above 1300 – 1400 m a.s.l., some species of Milk Vetch (e.g. Astragalus gumnifer, Acantholimon acerosum) are found as dominant in steppe vegetation. The forest is predominant at south and southeast slopes of the mountain. Mountain foothills are covered mainly by meadows. There are a few small settlements with some nomadic family who are staying near the summit of mountain during spring and summer season for stockbreeding aim. In some parts of the area negative anthropogenic effects, including raising livestock, have caused erosion, and the area has been turned to desert. Hunting is very intensive, especially during the winter in January and February. Human activities such as cattle and sheep-grazing are widespread (Ertekin 2002). 2.2. Methods Ornithological observations were carried out between March 2001 and March 2002, covering six survey routes (Figure 1). Routes were examined by vehicle and by walking from early morning to afternoon. In total, 20 field days were conducted (Table 1). During the breeding season, the field day frequency and the observation time were increased. Standard ornithological equipment and identification methodology has been used for identifying birds with line transects methodology. The transects were not evenly spaced, and observations were carried out on Contribution to the knowledge of avifauna of KaracadaĞ, South- eastern Anatolia (Turkey) Prispevek k poznavanju avifavne Karacadağa v jugovzhodni Anatoliji (Tur~ija) Recep KarakaŞ University of Dicle, Science & Art Faculty, Department of Biology, 21280 Dİyarbakir, Turkey, e-mail: rkarakas@dicle.edu.tr 140 R. KarakaŞ: Contribution to the knowledge of avifauna of Karacadağ, South-eastern Anatolia (Turkey) routes (see Figure 1). All observed birds were registered. In surveys we collected mainly qualitative and not quantitative data. For the systematic list of birds, Kasparek & Bilgin (1996) was followed. Courtship behaviour, sighting of egg, chick or nest during field excursions were taken as criteria of species reproductive status – if courtship behaviour was observed and egg, chick or nest was recorded, the species was considered as a confirmed breeder (C). All species showing signs of courtship behaviour in an appropriate breeding Table 1: Number of field days per month carried out in Karacadag ˘ area Tabela 1: Število terenskih dni v posameznih mesecih, opravljenih na obmo~ju Karacadag ˘a Years / leta Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Total/ skupaj 2001 − − − 3 3 2 3 1 1 1 1 1 16 2002 1 1 2 − − − − − − − − − 4 Total / skupaj 1 1 2 3 3 2 3 1 1 1 1 1 20 Figure 1: Study area of Mt.

Resident species (R) were those found in the area in all seasons, and summer migrants (SM) during spring and summer; the latter could also breed in the area. Winter visitors (WV) were those seen in the area only during the winter season. Passage migrant (PM) were seen only during the spring and autumn migration times. 141 Acrocephalus 25 (122): 139 – 148, 2004 Figure 2: Maximum number of recorded species in Karacadag ˘ area according to the time of year Slika 2: Maksimalno {tevilo ugotovljenih vrst na obmo~ju Karacadag ˘a po posameznih mesecih 3. Results and Discussion Altogether 85 bird species were registered (Table 2). There were 35 confirmed breeders, 19 probable breeders, 33 summer migrants, 21 residents, 14 winter visitors, and 17 passage migrants. According to the Red Data Book criteria (KiziroĞlu 1993) I found, among breeders, one species threatened with extinction (A.1.2), 12 severely endangered species (A.2), 15 endangered species (A.3), 11 potentially endangered species (A.4) and, among non-breeders, four severely endangered species (B.2) and one endangered species (B.3). The largest number of bird species was recorded in spring time (Figure 2). Some species recorded in this study, such as Honey Buzzard Pernis apivorus, Griffon Vulture Gyps fulvus, Short-toed Eagle Circaetus gallicus, Lesser Spotted Eagle Aquila pomarina, Lesser Kestrel Falco naumanni, Red-footed Falcon Falco vespertinus, Peregrine Falcon Falco peregrinus, Black-eared Wheatear Oenanthe hispanica and Masked Shrike Lanius nubicus were not reported in Diyarbakır in earlier studies (Kumerloeve 1967, Vielliard 1968). Lesser Kestrel, listed as vulnerable according to IUCN categorization, is a colony breeder in the area (Hilton-Taylor 2000). 38 birds of prey Falconiformes occur in Turkey (Kasparek & Bilgin, 1996), and 19 of them were observed in the study area (Table 2). In the present study, some species were recorded for the first time in South-eastern Anatolia: Hen Harrier Circus cyaneus, Lesser Spotted Eagle, Red-footed Falcon, Merlin Falco columbarius, and Peregrine Falcon. In contrast, some species that were noted in the other studies of South-eastern Anatolian avifauna (Beaman 1986, Kasparek 1986, Martins 1989, Eames 1990, Kirwan 1995) were not found in our study, e.g. Elenora’s Falcon Falco elenorae, Red-wattled Plover Vanellus indicus, Pin-tailed Sandgrouse Pterocles alchata, Scops Owl Otus scops, Eagle Owl Bubo bubo, Long-eared Owl Asio otus, Desert Lark Ammomanes deserti, Pale Rock Sparrow Petronia brachydactyla, Yellow-throated Sparrow Petronia xanthocollis, and Cinereous Bunting Emberiza cineracea. In all mentioned studies breeding probability was recorded for the Birecik and Halfeti area, and not especially for Karacadağ. There are also historical records for Little Bustard Tetrax tetrax and Desert Finch Rhodospiza obsoleta from South-eastern Anatolia (Parr 1981), but no recent records. Rose-coloured Starling Sturnus roseus was recorded (Murphy 1984), but breeding was not confirmed. In this study we confirmed its breeding in the region the first time. In the area near Diyarbakır 102 bird species were recorded (Biricik 1996), but here the water reservoir area was included. Furthermore 136 bird species were recorded at Göksu Dam, which is situated about 45 km south-east of Karacadağ (KarakaŞ & Kılıç 2002). The present study shows some differences, especially in waterbird species due to the habitat differences. Karacadağ has mainly steppe habitats and so is important as a foraging area for the Montagu’s Harrier Circus pygargus, Long-legged Buzzard Buteo rufinus, Lesser Kestrel etc., as already mentioned by Magnin et al. (2000). In their description of the distribution of 49 species in South-eastern Turkey Kirwan & Martins (1994) mentioned another 10 species not found in our study: Pygmy Cormorant Phalacrocorax pygmeus, 0 10 20 30 40 50 Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Months / meseci N o. of sp ec ie s/ {t . v rs t 142 R.

According to them the seasonal status for Spotted Flycatcher Muscicapa striata was uncertain, but we found it to be a passage migrant in the area. Local people in Karacadağ reported that Chukar Alectoris chukar was seen from time to time in the region until some years ago, but during our study we had no sightings. The reason may be the decreased population of this species as a result of increased hunting pressure. Breeding of Spectacled Warbler Sylvia conspiciliata has been recorded from Karacadağ in a recent study (Welch & Welch 2004), but was not found in this study. The results of this study show that the region has an important bird potential. The data presented constitute a basis for further research and conservation.

Summary Ornithological observations were carried out between March 2001 and March 2002 in certain parts of Karacadağ, which is located south-west of Diyarbakır, South-eastern Anatolia, Turkey. Karacadağ is an isolated, inactive volcanic mountain, and its surface is mainly coated with basaltic stone and soil with some cultivated areas on foot hills. 85 bird species were recorded in the area. Among these, breeding was confirmed for 35 species, and another 19 species were presumed to breed in the area. 44 species are listed as endangered, e.g. Short-toed Eagle Circaetus gallicus is in the A.1.2 category (threatened with extinction), 12 species are in A.2 (severely endangered), 15 in A.3 (endangered), 11 in A.4 (potentially endangered), four in B.2 (severely endangered, not breeding) and one species in B.3 category (endangered, not breeding), according to the Turkish “Red Data Book”. However, Lesser Kestrel Falco naumanni, which is listed as vulnerable (VU A1) according to IUCN classification, is breeding in the area. The list of bird species will help to evaluate and compare the changes in the bird fauna in the future and serve as the basis for future research and conservation efforts in the region. Povzetek Pri~ujo~i prispevek predstavlja rezultate ornitolo{kih raziskav, opravljenih med marcem 2001 in marcem 2002 v nekaterih delih Karacadağa, ki leži jugozahodno od Diyarbakırja v jugovzhodni Anatoliji, Tur~ija. Karacadağ je osamljena nedejavna ognjeni{ka gora, prekrita predvsem z bazaltnimi kamninami, ob njenem vznožju pa je tudi nekaj obdelovanih povr{in. V obravnavanem obmo~ju je bilo zabeleženih 85 vrst ptic, med njimi 35 potrjenih in 19 domnevnih gnezdilk. 44 izmed teh vrst je v Tur~iji uvr{~enih v “Rde~i seznam”: ka~ar Circaetus gallicus v kategoriji A.1.2 (vrsta, ki ji grozi izginotje), 12 vrst v kategoriji A.2 (mo~no ogrožena vrsta), 15 v kategoriji A.3 (ogrožena vrsta), 11 v kategoriji A.4 (potencialno ogrožena vrsta), 4 v kategoriji B.2 (mo~no ogrožena negnezde~a vrsta) in 1 vrsta v kategoriji B.3 (ogrožena negnezde~a vrsta). Na obravnavanem obmo~ju gnezdi tudi južna postovka Falco naumanni, ki jo je IUCN klasificiral kot ranljivo vrsto (VU A1). Predstavljeni seznam pti~jih vrst, ugotovljenih v obmo~ju, naj bi bil v pomo~ pri vrednotenju in primerjavi sprememb pti~je favne v prihodnosti in osnova tako za bodo~e raziskovalce kot naravovarstvene aktivnosti v tej regiji.
