Almaty.

Old Square. There are many birds. Mainly Great Tits, Blackbirds and House Sparrows. They are also main singers. Blackbirds are most loud of all. Flying Greenfinches are noticeable. Once Cetti's Warbler glimpsed. Birds singing is all around. Found some birds by the singing. Little, inconspicuous Warblers sing in the thick foliage. Singing of Warblers is loud and audibly far, but it's very difficult to find its. Lesser Whitethroat sang in the thick branches of fir tree, but Booted and Barred Warblers in the branches of elms. Saw these birds and even it photographed some of them. But heard Nightingale and didn't find it. Still it saw the lonely female of Common Rosefinch. Certainly, it was desirable to see male, but bird was one only.

Evening. Republic Square. One Turkestan Shrike flew. The pair of Lesser Grey Shrikes sits in the high birches. It's interesting that other species of shrikes at Republic Square gravitate to open places but Lesser Grey Shrikes are located in the high birches. Lesser Whitethroats sing in the fir trees. It is very difficult to spy them. Although the bird sing about two meters from the observer, it is not possible to see it because it is located deeply in the branches in the darkness. Other birds – Great Tits, Blackbirds, Greenfinches, Magpies, Mynahs.
