Jochen Roeder: You were just visiting? This makes your find even more remarkable. Congratulations again. And "happy birding trails" in Russia!

Наталья Мельникова: Спасибо!

Малик Нукусбеков: Наталья, поздравляю очень редкая встреча, Вы наблюдательный.

Наталья Мельникова: Thank you! I have already returned to Russia. We were in Mangistau in October. Really, this amazing place impressed me too. Interesting nature, fauna and also fossils. I saw saker falcon and golden eagle from the ones you listed.

Jochen Roeder: If you visit again, the floodplains west of the cement plant are very interesting especially during migration. The channel of the Shetpe river which flows there is green throughout the year and you can find many songbirds there. Also, there are Caspian [....]

Наталья Мельникова: First time

Jochen Roeder: Thank you! Are you often in the area around Shetpe?

Наталья Мельникова: It was south of Shetpe in chalk mountains (deposits) (1.5 km from the plant "Caspian cement")

Jochen Roeder: Amazing!!! Was this at the quarry? I did many bird surveys around the quarry at Shetpe many years ago. This is a very interesting area, but I never saw such a rare species. Congratulations!!!

Малик Нукусбеков: Круто
