    2026-06-01. to photo # 08190029006 (Blyth's Reed Warbler)

    Анна Ясько: Да, садовая камышевка.

    2026-06-01. to photo # 08190005701 (Booted Warbler)

    Анна Ясько: На мой взгляд слишком бурая и клюв маловат. Бледная же более на камышевку похожа.

    2026-06-01. to photo # 08190005701 (Booted Warbler)

    Ilia Ishchenko: Не подходит ли больше бледная пересмешка?

    2026-06-01. to photo # 08190029001 (Blyth's Reed Warbler)

    Ilia Ishchenko: Посмотрел ещё на южных бормотушек и тоже думаю про камышевку теперь.

    2026-06-01. to photo # 08190029001 (Blyth's Reed Warbler)

    Ilia Ishchenko: Анна, добавил ещё фотографий.

    2026-06-01. to photo # 08190028901 (Hume's Warbler)

    Ilia Ishchenko: Меня тут небольшая полосатость груди удивила.

    2026-06-01. to photo # 08190028602 (Greater Sand Plover)

    Ilia Ishchenko: Благодарю!

    2026-06-01. to photo # 08190028401 (Caspian Plover)

    Ilia Ishchenko: на гнезде. в кладке 3 яйца

    2026-06-01. to photo # 08190029001 (Blyth's Reed Warbler)

    Анна Ясько: Есть еще фото этой птицы? Клюв довольно крупный, чем больше похожа на камышевку. Центральные рулевые, если верно рассмотрела, не короче соседних [....]

    2026-06-01. to photo # 08190028601 (Greater Sand Plover)

    Анна Ясько: Молодежь большеклювого.

    2026-06-01. to photo # 08190028901 (Hume's Warbler)

    Ilia Ishchenko: Thank you!

    2026-06-01. to photo # 08190028101 (Caspian Gull)

    Ilia Ishchenko: Спасибо!

    2026-06-01. to photo # 08190028101 (Caspian Gull)

    Анна Ясько: Хохотунья.

    2026-06-01. to photo # 08190028903 (Hume's Warbler)

    Анна Ясько: Пеночка тусклая Phylloscopus humei

    2026-06-01. to photo # 08190028902 (Hume's Warbler)

    Bassel Abi Jummaa: Difficult to judge with certainty but most probably Hume's leaf warbler ( phylloscopus Humei ). There is a very light and ill-defined bar on the lesser coverts .

    2026-06-01. to photo # 08190028102 (Caspian Gull)

    Bassel Abi Jummaa: I would say most probably Caspian gull ( Larus Cachinnans )

    2026-05-11. to photo # 08190026501 (Temminck's Stint)

    Ilia Ishchenko: Спасибо, перенёс

    2026-05-11. to photo # 08190026802 (Common Sandpiper)
