This is a condensed version in English of my Swedish website on birding and travelling in the Near East. It is a shorter summary since most of the information is widely available in English on various other websites. My aim is to promote interest and knowledge of this fascinating region among Swedish and Scandinavian birdwatchers.
The website of the Ornithological Society of the Middle East http://www.osme.org, contains a lot of info, trip reports, forums and more on birding in this region.
Please have a look at what this site offers:
