    2014-04-10| Malik Nukusbekov

    Пока у меня было свободное время хотел поехать на Таскол.С утра погода было отличная,на попутке сперва заехал ТерсАщыбулак. На водохранилище после последнего снегопада вода прибавилась,но людей много в основном рыбаки они там на лодке и по берегу везде.Пастухи пасли скот,механизаторы пахали и сеяли.Мне там делать было нечего,из далека наблюдал бинокле .На разливах сидели большая стая журавли-красавки,и поехал дальше на Таскол.Таскол я подошел со стороны Аулибастау по дороге видел в основном мелочи,низовий между озерами большое гнездовой скопление чибисов,их не стал беспокоит.Пока я сделал этот маршрут время подошло к вечеру пришлось обратно вернутся домой.
