Тур на Алтай. День 8-й. Поселье-Усть-Каменогорск.


2014-08-22| Askar Isabekov

Вчера был логический финиш тура, для себя я закрыл последнюю страницу, все написал и подвел итоги. Но сегодня, пока я дремал в машине до Риддера, и в такси до Усть-Каменогорска, ребята высмотрели в окно еще кучу всяких птиц, которых нужно добавить в общий список. Из всех этих птиц я помню только утренних певчих дроздов.

Подбил итоги в цифрах. Всего 118 видов, в т.ч. 43 в горах. Лайферов у Андрея 5, у меня 6, у Санжара 9, у Василия 13.
