10 расписнушек и 10 бородаток это круто!


2016-09-22. Аскар Исабеков:

Куропаток видел дважды. Один раз одиночную птицу, второй раз стайку. Одиночка вылетела из травы, стая какое-то время смотрела на меня, я на нее, потом они сорвались, и я даже не успел в полете их снять, так как мешали деревья. Вобщем, бородатые остались за кадром.
