Urban Birding с Александром Беляевым.

2015-08-30| Askar Isabekov

Площадь Республики обследовали с 6 до 9 утра. Вобщем-то площадь себя новому человеку показала неплохо. Были и все три славки, и жуланы, и варакушка, и вяхири, и камышевки. Вобщем, все кому было положено, были, но ничего оригинального площадь не дала. После обеда пошли искать рыжепоясничных ласточек, которых в этом году Александр еще не встречал. На КазГУ ласточек не было, зато встретили кукушку. На Весновке увидели высоко летающего сокола, показавшегося шахином, но это был молодой чеглок. Поехали в Дендропарк, но, увы, в полуденную жару там птиц тоже было немного. В актив поставлю только трех коршунов. Птица дня, безусловно, это серая мухоловка, наблюдаемая буквально везде и постоянно. За день видели около полутора десятков этих мухоловок. Сегодня впервые видел как серая мухоловка пила воду из лужи.

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.
