Солнечно, морозно -12 С. Вначале встретил стайку чижей (птиц 20), потом юрков, доедающих остатки дерена, а потом Рауфаэля Байрашева, и дальше мы уже вместе с ним пошли искать зарянку. Нашли трех, в трех разных местах. Кроме зарянок видели чернозобых дроздов в туях, трех арчовых дубоносов, чистящих перья на березах, зеленушек, юрков, зябликов, черных дроздов и пару корольков.

Squacco Heron (Ardeola ralloides)

Second registration of the species on Lake Sorbulak. The first was more than 40 years ago, when two birds were discovered among Grey Herons on June 30, 1982 (Erokhov, 1991). According to available data, this is the easternmost point of flight of the yellow heron from its main range.

Great Snipe (Gallinago media)
