Алматы, Площадь Республики.

2006-08-20| Askar Isabekov

«Обычные» городские птицы – туркестанские жуланы, славки – серая и завирушка. Обычные, потому что на Новой площади в Алма-Ате их можно встретить очень часто. В особенности осенью. К обычным можно отнести и перепелятника. Сегодняшний перепелятник был не похож на того, которого я встретил здесь 15 августа. У сегодняшнего хвост был в заметных полосках. А вот к необычным можно отнести удода, варакушек и чеглока. Чеглоков я уже видел в городе несколько дней назад, но вот фотографию сделать не удалось. А вот сегодня у меня есть документальное подтверждение – снимок чеглока на крыше городского акимата. Чеглок опять выбрал самую высокую точку, поэтому и снимки не очень хорошие.

Great Snipe (Gallinago media)

A rare passage species in Kazakhstan. The most recent photographic record in the country was made on 21 April 2022 in the Suzak District of Turkestan Region (Martin Grienenberger; see the website gallery). In Mangystau Region, only two records supported by photographic evidence are known from recent decades of the 21st century: 20–24 May 2009 in the Kenderli area (Neve et al., 2010) and the present observation.

Northern Wren (Troglodytes troglodytes)

A new species for the Teniz-Korgalzhinsky region. The first photographic confirmation on the website for the Kazakh Uplands. Recorded on March 28 and 30 in different parts of the village.

Northern Bullfinch (Pyrrhula pyrrhula)

The first photo recording of a Northern Bullfinch in Almaty on the website is a rare sighting for a region where they were previously observed during wintering in the mid-20th century and have now become only occasionally encountered.
