The days become hotter. In Mangistau sands in this hot weather it is possible to see mostly Skylarks (probably other Larks because I didn't identify them) and Blue-cheeked Bee-eaters. I hoped to watch different Wheatears but probably it's need to search them in other places. Blue-cheeked Bee-eaters were observed in all villages where wire are present. In Borankul village the Blue-cheeked Bee-eaters formed mixed colony with Sand Martins in sandy fall. But holes of Bee-eaters are large and rarer placed, but the holes of Martins are lesser and dense placed. Then holes of Martins and Bee-eaters located apart not together, on one side only holes of Martins but in another side only holes of Bee-eaters. On wires near colony the Eurasian Bee-eaters perches too but I didn't note that it entered to hole. Also today I saw raptors - Marsh Harriers and twice Steppe Eagle (but probably it was the same bird).
