Almaty. Graduates Park (Almagul subdivision).
2013-01-17| Raouf Bairashev
The Graduates Park in Almagul subdivision is a popular haunt for mommies with little children all day long. There are several birdfeeders on young fir trees. Great tits are lurking and feral pigeons are strolling next to them. From time to time other birds also come by. I saw rooks and bramblings.

Great tits are visible in large numbers. Several hooded crows and rooks. A couple of blackbirds were present.
