Ust-Kamenogorsk. Left-side Park.

Dank and overcast weather. Birding in Left-side Park. Park is very large and very pleasure to walking. In the morning birds are a bit perhaps because there is very cold. The first spot of birds activity is the thickets near labyrinth. We tried to attract Willow tits by sound but not only Willow Tits but Coal Tits, Great Tits came to us. Also Siskins, Long-tailed Rosefinch and Cetti’s Warbler flew to thickets but it’s may be coincidence. We tried to attract the Cetti’s Warbler too; bird twice left the bushes but a short time. Then we walked in the birch grove the place of Woodpeckers; we saw four Great Spotted Woodpeckers but either in fly or very far. Birds of pray: White-tailed Sea-Eagle and Sparrowhawk. Park is very nice place to birding; I think need to repeat the trip but in sunny day.
