Urban birding. Площадь Республики.


2014-01-06| Askar Isabekov

Солнечно, морозно -12 С. Вначале встретил стайку чижей (птиц 20), потом юрков, доедающих остатки дерена, а потом Рауфаэля Байрашева, и дальше мы уже вместе с ним пошли искать зарянку. Нашли трех, в трех разных местах. Кроме зарянок видели чернозобых дроздов в туях, трех арчовых дубоносов, чистящих перья на березах, зеленушек, юрков, зябликов, черных дроздов и пару корольков.
