Morning. I saw not less than three tens Common Whitethroats, it was surprising to me that Whitethroats were feeding on the ground, searching the food among the roses. Two Barred Warblers were as usually shyer than Whitethroats, the Common Nightingales were hiding in bushes. I ran into also other little birds, but I had not time to make out them. Again I saw yesterday's Stomechats and Turkestan Shrike.In the square at Republic Museum I heard Warblers, and in Samal saw one Wood Pigeon and two Laughing Doves. [...... read more ]

Hot sunny sometimes cloudy day. Trip with Raufael Bairashev and Albert Meek to Sorbulak lake and Almarasan gorge. On Sorbulak lake there are as usual abundance of birds. When we closed the Pelicans gone smoothly from sandy beach to the water and floated for some distance and then flew away. After some time Pelicans and Cormorants flew and arrived on the water, and then moved towards the coast. From a long distance I saw the low-flying bird with white wings and with dark wing-bar. At home I looked the field guides and found that that flying bird was Great Crested Grebe. So today I first time saw the flying Crested Grebes.In Almarasan gorge we saw juvenile Blue Whistling Thrush, Brown Dippers and Greenish Warblers, but in next Ozernoe gorge we run into Azure Tits. In the city we some time observed Common Nightingale. [...... read more ]
