Tracks on snow

2017-02-23| Askar Isabekov

Today I found the tracks on snow in the park. First the illegible tracks of someone with short legs, then they disappeared and then the tracks of wings - three tracks, each next is less clear than previous.

My guess: recent years in this place the different small rodents and insectivorous inhabited: moles, shrews, may be voles. I think some of its came out on the snow and was captured by Sparrowhawk. I think by Sparrowhawk, due to the small wingspan - about 45 cm.

I confused by the large size of tracks for underground inhabitants. Size is more suitable for Squirrel. But Squirrel can not come out of nowhere, but the tracks suddenly appeared and just as suddenly disappeared.

1. the whole scene

2. probably tracks of rodent

3. wings tracks

Если это в парке президента, я летом там сняла ушатую сову, поймавшую зайчика. Сначала думала что крыса, но при увеличении видно пушистые ножки. Позже видела зайчика мелкого как декоративного кролика.

У совы размах крыльев больше, а позавчера я видел как перепелятник снял кого-то со снега. размах крыльев больше всего ему подходит. А насчет зайца-кролика - это интересно. Я никогда не видел зайца в этом парке. А можно фото посмотреть?

Постараюсь загрузить фото, там видно лапки. А самого зайчика видела мельком в первом лесочке снизу.

Качество не ахти, объектив слабоват.

Может тут случайное совпадение. Следы зверька, мне кажется более старые.
