Özet
An observation of a single female Namaqua dove Oena capensis (L.) in the late spring of 2015 from South-eastern Turkey is reported. This constitutes one of the most northern locations of the species currently known, where apparently free ranging birds have been spotted. No sign of breeding could be identified. The landscape properties of the detection site are consistent with those described for former findings in the Middle East. The records in several countries in the region suggest a northern expansion of the species' geographical range of about 28.8 km/year across the Arabian Peninsula.
