Кимасар. Или-Алатауский нацпарк.


2014-06-13| Askar Isabekov

Была возможность проехаться в Кимасар, и я ею воспользовался – хотел проведать птенцов синей птицы. Птенцы на месте, подросли, уже с перышками. Прилетела мама с червяками в клюве, присела метрах в 5 от меня, посидела чуть-чуть, но видно ситуация показалась ей не вполне спокойной – она съела червячков и улетела. Я сразу же ушел от гнезда. Через какое-то время прилетел и папа, покормил и улетел. Потом он прилетал еще несколько раз.

18 мая мы с Васей обнаружили гнездо бурой оляпки и слетка. Сегодня я видел как в это гнездо залетала оляпка с кормом. Значит, уже второй выводок подрастает.

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.
