Big Almaty Lake

2016-09-14| Askar Isabekov

Non birding trip to Big Almaty Lake. I watched birds only a little time. After yesterday rain I waited the snow in mountains but it was absent. Very warm autumn this year in mountains. Birds were a bit. Black-throated Accentors and Stonechats run in the juniper thickets. Hobbies learned juveniles to hunt. The most important record was the Ibisbill flew above the lake from one side to another.

Аскар, серпоклювы ещё могут быть? Если да, то где их лучше искать утром... Спасибо!

2016-09-24. Аскар Исабеков:

Серпоклювы не улетают, они почти все время в одном месте - устье реки, впадающей в озеро. Только теперь туда запрещено ходить, мне повезло, что серпоклюв сам прилетел через озеро.

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.
