Moon hangs over the hidden gorge of Demerkazik, in the Taurus Mountains, Turkey First light on a peak of the Aladag Range, towering at the far end of the gorge First light begins filtering into the depths of the gorge, birdsong all around A wary Chukar, <i>Alectoris chukar</i>, making off among the scree slope Ibex silhouetted by dawn on the high crags A Black Redstart, <i>Phoenicurus ochruros</i>, calls from the rocky valley floor First light hits the high crags above Demerkazik Gorge A female Rock Bunting, <i>Emberiza cia</i>, posing with alpine wildflowers The high crags - home to Ibex and roost for Martins, Swifts, Doves and Kestrels Rocky crags near the snowline - home of the rare Snowcock, <i>Tetraogallus caspius</i> Delicate life in a harsh landscape - a tine Red-fronted Serin, <i>Serinus pusillus</i> Deep in the gorge, a place of echoes A Golden Eagle <i>Aquila chrysaetos</i> soars magestically overhead, and a Crag Martin whizzes past The bells of grazing sheep echo wonderously around the rock walls Sheep grazing on the high pastures
