Kustanai oblast.

Day was cloudy and warm. The road to Kustanai from the south. All around there were the little birch forests in steppe. In Proleski village I noticed one Collared Dove. At Konai village (almost near Kustanai) in roadside grove I saw female Bluethroat and Kestrel. Driving about 20 kilometers from Kustanai to Kokchetau side I stopped to walk in forest (which is probably part of large Arakaragai forest). I didn't find any birds only two Tree Pipits; though during the road I saw in forests Red-footed Falcons and Oriental Turtle Doves. Turtle Dove was shot at evening time in Auliekol region near Akkuduk.
