Алматы. Площадь Республики.


2015-04-19| Askar Isabekov

Всю неделю провалялся с простудой. Далеко выбраться не смог, но часок по площади погулял. Птичек мало, дрозды гоняются друг за другом, синицы тоже. Слышны они же, плюс пеночки - теньковки и тусклые зарнички. Очень активны и относительно многочисленны зеленушки. Вместе с еще не улетевшими зябликами зеленушки подъедали упавшие еше зимой на землю ягоды дерена. Зеленушки еще активно пели, причем повсеместно. Видел одну самку седоголовой горихвостки. Жулан только один.

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.
