Кимасар.


2015-09-12| Askar Isabekov

Поход в Кимасар, в надежде на осоедов. Погода с утра солнечная, но с облачками, к обеду перешедшая в сплошную облачность с намеками на дождь. Был шанс снять обоих наших дятлов в один день, что мне еще ни разу не удавалось. БПД был встречен в самом низу на тополях и на соснах, а трехпалого я слышал в ельниках несколько раз, но увидеть его не пришлось. Мелочь вся привычная – московки, большие синицы, пеночки, пищуха. Чеглок восседал на той же сухой ели, где мы его видели с Дауреном. Из арчи охотно вылетала на голос только черногорлая завирушка. Осоеды так и не полетели, из прочих хищников видел перепелятника, пустельг и беркута. На спуске встретил синюю птицу, все ту же Хромоножку. Вобщем, нового ничего.
