Erdoğan was in his father’s home town in Rize’s Güneysu district on Aug. 14 to open a unique mosque which had been built on top of the 1,130-meter Kıble Mountain in the area. After the inauguration, Erdoğan planted trees in the park across from the mosque before releasing a number of doves, pheasants and other birds.

The released partridge returned quickly though, before trying to perch on Erdoğan’s head. Here is a series of photos shot by Doğan News Agency’s Uğur Can, showing those moments.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan released a number of birds at the opening of a mosque in the Black Sea Province of Rize in an effort to show his environmentalist side, but one partridge insisted on perching upon the Turkish president’s head.
