Özet

According to a study performed between 2001 and 2003, the White-spectac1ed Bulbul is mainly distributed in the coastal Mediterranean region of Turkeyand extends from Patara/Gelemis near Kas in the west to Türkoglu in Kahramanmaras province in the east. The vertical distribution extends from sea level to 1260 m in the non-breeding season. In the breeding season, the species has its highest density in the coastal area up to 400 m a.s.1. The highest nesting area was found at Belen in the Amanus Mountains at 740 m. The main areas of occurance are the Antalya lowlands, the Çukurova and the coastal band of Hatay where dense populations are found. Low densitiy is found in particular in the areas of Ermenek (south-central Anatolia) and Nurdagi (southeastem Anatolia).
