Эх, я в этот день только до обеда свободен. Так что кому-нибудь из алматинцев нужно обязательно на Сорбулак, он всегда хорошо виды добавляет.

2025-10-10. Анна Ясько:

Завтра Большой День октября. У кого есть возможность - присоединяйтесь к команде!

2025-10-11. Владимир Муравский:

Пока 24 вида, трёхпалый дятел не попался, хищников кроме перепелятника тоже не видел, пойду ещё погляжу.

2025-10-11. Канатбек Кенжегулов:

А с кем делиться чек-листы? Как найти группу?

2025-10-11. Канатбек Кенжегулов:

Поделился всеми чек-листами на сегодня. Анна вы видите мои чек-листы?

2025-10-11. Анна Ясько:

Канатбек, все чек-листы приняты.

2025-10-15. Канатбек Кенжегулов:

Какие-то предварительные есть результаты? Где наша команда и какое место?

2025-10-15. Анна Ясько:

Канатбек, официально результаты еще не вывесили. Предварительно Казахстан на 58 месте 186 видов. Результат команды мне пока не известен.

rare birds records

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)

The second record of a rare migratory species this season.

Great Snipe (Gallinago media)

A rare passage species in Kazakhstan. The most recent photographic record in the country was made on 21 April 2022 in the Suzak District of Turkestan Region (Martin Grienenberger; see the website gallery). In Mangystau Region, only two records supported by photographic evidence are known from recent decades of the 21st century: 20–24 May 2009 in the Kenderli area (Neve et al., 2010) and the present observation.

Northern Wren (Troglodytes troglodytes)

A new species for the Teniz-Korgalzhinsky region. The first photographic confirmation on the website for the Kazakh Uplands. Recorded on March 28 and 30 in different parts of the village.
