Yesterday evening I saw male Blackbird with the white feather in the tail. Already it was dark and I thought that it was mistaken. Stood to see better. Blackbird flew up nearer and sat to the branch of poplar. As soon as bird sat here from the branches little beaks stretched to it. Nestlings! While bridwatchers look to migration birds Blackbirds have a nestlings.This morning decided to look to the nest on daylight. Actually nestlings sat in the nest at the height approximately 2,5 meters. Both parents a little worried on my appearance, although the nest is located on very busy cross-road and people be situated nearble the nest constantly. After dinner I decided to visit birds again. When I approached nestlings sat harboring, female fed and male sang songs. Parents did not bring fodder to nestlings and after certain time one of nestlings came out from the nest and went to go for a walk on the branches. Once female flew up and fed it. Nestling got down on the branches increasingly below and [...... read more ]

While grand construction evolved on KazGUgrad's waste lands, today morning I saw many birds. On high pines the pair of Sparrowhawk began to build the nest. Directly male builds nest but female sees to the process. Didn't spy to Sparrowhawks so long, was afraid to trouble its.The pair of Kestrels chose the highest building of KazGUgrad. In my opinion the falcons intend to nest there. At least, one of the birds regularly sits on the ledge of building, and another hides itself in the alcove. Other birds (Mynahs, Magpies, Pigeons, Sparrows, Great Tits) didn't pay attention to Kestrels.Red-rumped Swallows arrived flying. I wanted to photograph them onto the ground, but today this did not come out. Birds always were in air or they sat highly on the wires. In the thick bushes there are many Great Tits and Chiffchaffs. It met the small flock of Black-throated Thrushes. [...... read more ]
