6 photos
At 8 AM on Dostyk street saw Great Spotted Woodpecker on the top of old poplar. Although I didn't make photos but beginning of the day was very nice. I spotted Woodpecker by specific flight. Woodpecker flew to the city side not to the mountains.
Road to Shelek. High wind, cloudly. On Malovodnoe saw flock of Goldfinches but didn't spy it's heads. On Teskensu saw this spring first Barn Swallow. After Lavar Swallows were common. On Shelek the wind was very high. Bird weren't looked. After the dinner short walked to Sarybulak. Saw large flock of Black-throated Thrushes, yet not migrated Chaffinches and one Black Redstart. On Shelek's sky this spring first Kite. When the wind was flatten the flocks of Indian Sparrows appeared.
On early evening went to Bartogai reservoir and Nura village. At Nura met with berkutchi (hawker) and photographed him and his two Golden Eagles.
On the road above the rocks saw the flock of Lesser Kestrels (8 birds). This spring first Lesser Kestrels. Before the sunset the wind flatten and little birds apeared. Pied and Isabelline Wheaters (20-25 birds together), Linnets flock (7-8 birds), Hoopoes (2 birds). To Bartagoi arrived on sunset. It was impossible to watch birds but saw some ones. Two pairs of Ruddy Shelducks, flock of little unknown ducks, one Little Ringed Plover, Masked and Citrine Wagtails.
