Trip on Small Sorbulak.

2023-10-08| Andrey Kovalenko

Проехался до Малого Сорбулака. По дороге поснимал фазанов у трассы в районе Чапаево. Заехал на канал у Комсомола. Там уже куча горных коньков, камышницы, много озерных чаек, встретил двух охотящихся орлов-карликов. Затем заехал на свалку со степными орлами. На свалке было около 30, еще до 80 летали над свалкой. Кроме того степные орлы и орланы встречались часто и в небе над Малым Сорбулаком... Был и один могильник (уже на Сорбулаке). Объехал малые озера. Уток стало больше северных. Кулики практически исчезли, встретил по одному чибиса, галстучника, морского зуйка и турухтана. Много горных коньков, появились в массе зяблики и юрки. Достаточно много белых и маскированных трясогузок и белошапочных овсянок. На канале параллельно трассе на обратном пути видел лугового конька (снять не удалось).
