Urban Birding. Алматы. Площадь Республики.


2013-12-23| Askar Isabekov

Шел по делам, но раз уж шел через площадь, и раз уж при легком морозце солнце палило вовсю, то взял с собой фотоаппарат. И снял зарянку, двух славок-завирушек, и не удержался – юрка, уж больно хорошо он сидел. Рассматривая фотографии со славками на компьютере, обратил внимание, как быстро кончается дерен. Сейчас птички позируют на фоне почти пустых заиндевелых ветвей.

Аскар, чернозобая гагара явно в этот список по ошибке попала.

Видимо, вместо дрозда...))) Тем более, что там краснозобая рядом стояла...;)
