Алматы-Чимкент -Сайрам .


2021-09-22| Alexandr Katuncev

Сложилась камандировка в ЮКО на 5 дней. По дороге из Алматы-Чемкент птиц было мало. Встречались в основном майны ,грачи, черные коршуны. В Сайрамском районе картинка немного оживилась ,встретились сера мухаловка,малая горлица,белая и маскированная тресагузки . Жаль времени было моловато. Но всетаки птицей дня стал стервятник. фото выложу чуть позже.
