Eastern Tur Habitat, Kazbegi
I visited Georgia for a few days in July 2017. It is a beautiful country that I plan to return to.
Kazbegi/Stepanstminda should be a good area to see Eastern Turs, but very thick cloud in July 2017 meant we had almost no opportunity to scope out the mountains.
Lagodekhi Nature Reserve protects some lovely forest with a healthy mammal population. In three nights in July 2017 we caught Radde’s Shrews, Transcaucasian Water Shrews and Major’s Pine Voles and I saw an Edible Dormouse. If you have time to trek up the mountain you should see Eastern Turs.
Radde’s Shrew, Sorex raddei
