Almaty. Republic Square.

On evening time I had the walk onto the Square. In first my attention was fixed by the Black Redstart. The Redstart flew from tree to another but on high branches and I didn't have possibility to observe it. Later I saw the first Turkestan Shrike. Shrike perched on the bushes and from time to time flew off to hunt to insects. Once high in the sky the Sparrowhawk flew by. Perching on the birch-tree Greenfinch sang very loudly. Now it's time when the new species of birds will appear every day.
