classification:

Urban Birding. Площадь Республики.

2014-04-17| Askar Isabekov

Вчера во время утренней пробежки увидел вяхиря. Сегодня их на площади было два - сидели на сосне, точнее говоря, отдыхали. Много было пеночек-теньковок, часть из них кормилась в траве. А в двух местах в елях я видел тусклых зарничек. Далее, два туркестанских жулана, один из них, скорее всего, старый знакомый - суперпугливый самец, постоянно прячущийся в кустах, вторая птица - гораздо менее пугливая самка. Не видел зябликов-юрков, видел синиц-дроздов-зеленушек и сорок. Еще впервые видел над площадью пролет деревенских ласточек - в направлении северо-востока пролетели с интервалом минут в 15-20 три стайки по 5-10 птиц и еще разок одиночная птица.

Great Snipe (Gallinago media)

A rare passage species in Kazakhstan. The most recent photographic record in the country was made on 21 April 2022 in the Suzak District of Turkestan Region (Martin Grienenberger; see the website gallery). In Mangystau Region, only two records supported by photographic evidence are known from recent decades of the 21st century: 20–24 May 2009 in the Kenderli area (Neve et al., 2010) and the present observation.

Northern Wren (Troglodytes troglodytes)

A new species for the Teniz-Korgalzhinsky region. The first photographic confirmation on the website for the Kazakh Uplands. Recorded on March 28 and 30 in different parts of the village.

Northern Bullfinch (Pyrrhula pyrrhula)

The first photo recording of a Northern Bullfinch in Almaty on the website is a rare sighting for a region where they were previously observed during wintering in the mid-20th century and have now become only occasionally encountered.
