Два коротких выхода. До обеда на Площадь Республики, после – в Дендропарк (ака президентский). Общая картина – явное оживление, славки, чеканы и жуланы, конечно же, составляют большинство, но видел и варакушку, а в дендропарке – вертишейку. На розах копошились несколько бормотушек, очень светлых, думаю, что все-таки не южных, а из тех северных, что занимают промежуточное положение между северными и южными. Пролет идет, показались и те, кто на пролетных охотится – видел на площади охотящегося перепелятника. В дендропарке видел кукушку. В обеих точках наблюдений видел ласточек, на площади – воронков, а в дендропарке – касаток и рыжепоясничных.

rare birds records

Great Snipe (Gallinago media)

The second record of a rare migratory species this season.

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.
