Bafa and Azap Lakes

We decided to go for a picnic, so we packed the chairs, food and beverage into the car and sallied forth. We drove to Bafa lake with the intentions of watching the flamingoes. 

However, try as we might, we couldn't find any.

We found Egrets and other wading birds.

 And we found a little fishing village.

So we continued on our journey and made our way to Lake Azap in case they were there.

None here either, but by now we were hungry, so we settled down to our picnic looking at this stunning view. We were privileged to spy an eagle, some pelicans, a kingfisher and several other species of bird during our meal.

And we had it almost to ourselves

Then we descended to the Soke outlets but were surprised to find that since our last visit, just a month ago, some wind turbines had appeared. 

They are right next to the outlets, on the opposite side of the main road and spread out over two or three fields.
