Kulsary - Uralsk.

On exit from Kulsary there are some little rivers. In morning time on these rivers I watch Marsh Harrier, Caspian Gulls and Common Terns. Little passerines in the bushes on sides of rivers were House Sparrows, one Desert Finch and Desert Warbler. I noted Asian Desert Warblers some times but didn't shot and well watched them therefore I am not sure in identification. On Mukur turning I saw the pair of flying by Black-bellied Sandgrouses.

I planned to go from Dossor to Aktubinsk directly, but when I went about 30 kilometers over Makat I understood that this road will be hard to me, and I decided to come back in Uralsk. Day was hot, near Makat on little paddle I saw large colony of Pratincoles not less than one hundred birds. On salines before Dossor (75 km) I again saw the Stone Curlew hid from heat under the bridge. I tried to come back quickly, didn't watch birds which were a bit because the day was very hot. Birds was at evening time in Western Kazkhstan oblast in roadside thickets. Red-footed Falcons and Wood Pigeons were visible. At about 50 kilometers to Urlask I watched pair of European Turtle Doves (my first Doves in northern part of Kazakhstan), ans almost near Uralsk I noticed also the Montagu's Harrier.
