Бетпак Дала

2021-01-24 | Svetlana Baskakova

С 19 по 24 января 2021 съездили в Карагандинскую область. Туда-сюда от Жабаглы до Жабаглы получилось 2600 с небольшим километров. В Туркестане - признаки весны, галки бьются за бетонные столбы, а в Бетпак Дале - зима в разгаре. [...... read more ]


Kurty - Sorbulak

2021-01-24 | Askar Isabekov

Trip with Gennady and Victoria by the route Kurty - Akchi - Little Sorbulak - Komsomol. Weather of most of day was cloudy, temperature in morning was definitely negative (Celsium), but in evening became quite a warm. We started in Kurty, snow is absolutely absent here, birds are a bit too. In the bushes under the dam we saw Grey-headed Goldfinches, mixed flock of Tits (Great and Turkestan ones), Blackbirds, we expected some other species of little Passerines which are usually numerous here, but nobody was found more. Then we were walking along the river between the bridge in village and the main bridge of highway. From time to time Mallards flew by, the Goshawk followed them, also we saw several White-tailed Sea-Eagles. In the bushes Long-tailed Rosefinches foraged, from the depressiion we flushed the flock of Chukars. Perhaps, the most interesting record is Wallcreeper, three years ago, in 2018, this bird also was watched here. Unfortunately Wallcreeper was so shy, almost immediately it [...... read more ]

Sorbulak, the spring signs.

2021-01-19 | Askar Isabekov

Trip to Sorbulak with Gennady Dyakin and Victoria zvyagintseva. Weather forecast was sunny and warm day, in real during all day there was smoke, and temperature probably didn't up over zero. Our rout contained two points located far one from another: the open water of Big Sorbulak and the channel in Komsomol.Firstly we visited open water. We reached it without any troubles, and were happy to see the absence of mist. But the warming not only removed mist but also enlarged the open water. The ice plain of lake now is covered by hummocks and cracks, and though from a coast possible to view the quite fat ice, but ice bacame as thinner as closer to open water. We also heard the gurgling and crackling always. The warm water of channel makes melting the ice much faster as even the sun and warm air. In the open water there are the same birds as in prevoius visit, such as Mallards, Tufted Ducks, Goldeneyes, Goosanders, Smews. But Baraba Gulls appeared. They firstly stay in one dense group of several [...... read more ]

2021-01-17 | Alexandr Katuncev

Сегодня у меня удачный день! Примерно в 11-00 на оз.Сайран сфотографировал Малого баклана, Крякву, двух Оляпок, а также Горную трясогузку. А в завершении (в разгаре дня - практически в обед!!!!) попалась Летучая мышь. К сожалению, Цапля пролетела рядом со мной, но я за ней не пошел. [...... read more ]

Терс-Ащыбулакское водохранилище

2021-01-14 | Svetlana Baskakova

Надо было опробовать машину после сложного ремонта и быстренько, уже во второй половине дня сгоняли на Терс. Машина, кстати, в порядке.У нас в Жабаглы вовсю светило солнце и звенела капель (+9 градусов), но после Чокпакского перевала стоит густая стена тумана (машины днем по трассе идут с аварийками) все деревья прогнулись под тяжестью покрывшего их инея. Терс крепко-накрепко заморожен, вместо птиц там палатки любителей подледного лова. Но река из-под плотины вытекает вполне бодро, там и побродили минут 20 - больше не выдержали, одетые не по сезону.

Лыжная прогулка в предгорьях Аксу-Жабаглы

2021-01-09 | Svetlana Baskakova

Немного прогулялись с Федором Шакула, получилось 15,6 км за 3 ч. 51 мин. и 48 с. и 15 видов птиц. Было настолько заснежено-ослепительно-красиво, что даже не фотографировали. [...... read more ]
