Almaty. Vesnovka.

Winter temperature in Alma Ata always keeps over 0 C degrees. This winter some warmer, dayly temperature +5+7 C. In conjunction with thaw much birds have flew from city. Today I walked by Vesnovka river, saw Chaffinches, Wren, some Red-fronted Serins. Heard chirp of Goldfinches and saw at the outset one Black-headed (Eurasian) Goldfinch and later several flocks of Grey-headed Goldfinches. There are many bushes of bur. But wide known fact that bur is the fancy feed of Goldfinches.
