Tajikistan. Varzob gorge.

Day was murky. Yet in the city over the cement factory I watched soared Eurasian Griffon Vultures. In the beginning I counted ten birds but later two Griffon-Vultures added, a few later also two Cinereous Vultures added and when I left I watched yet two closing Griffon-Vultures. I don't know what bird did on cement factory but all birds flew from the side of Varzob gorge.

Despite murky weather in Varzob gorge there were soared large raptors. Each three-four kilometers I watched one-two (sometimes more number) birds. Once I saw Golden Eagle and once Lemmergeier. But most often only Eurasian Griffon-Vultures were observed. Once I saw three Griffon-Vultures which soared and sat on rocks.

Dushanbe. On evening dusk in the city center near the Somoni monument I saw White-capped Redstart on the fountain.
