I  have lived in Ovacik for nearly 6 years and see eagles on a regular basis. They are amazing to watch.

Most of the big birds you see are Buzzards. You do get Eagles and occasionally you may be lucky enough to see an Egyptian Vulture.

Yes Eric, we see them regularly flying off the mountain to the side of our villa (can't remember the name of the mountain, begins with G !).  Fantastic things to watch.

I hope they aren't going too fast or they'll hurt their beaks :D
