Огари на озерах Титова, 3300 м н.у.м.


2026-06-07| Nikita Kanunnikov

Видел и слышал двух ограей на нижнем озере Титова в ущелье Горельник в Иле-Алатауском нацпарке (верхнее озеро ещё сокрыто льдом). Известно, что огари гнездятся в горных озёрах, но как будто 3300 м высоковато даже для них. Признаков гнездового поведения я не видел, но два огаря это не один огарь.

Нашел наблюдение с аналогичной высоты с птенцами: https://kz.birding.day/v2photo.php?l=ru&s=064800009&n=1&saut=0&sor=desc&sortby=1&p=0&si=kaz#photo

Нужно будет наведаться сюда этим летом ещё раз.

Неделю назад мы видели 6 огарей на Большом Алматинском озере.

The first photo recording of a Northern Bullfinch in Almaty on the website is a rare sighting for a region where they were previously observed during wintering in the mid-20th century and have now become only occasionally encountered.

Bassel Abi Jummaa: I would say it is a greater short toed lark . The bill also looks slightly longer . I agree with Anna that the long primary projection beyond tertials is an effect of those wear
