Almaty. Samal, Republic Square.

Morning promenade from 7 to 8 am. Directly near my home I glanced on the sleeping Scops Owl. A few later I heard singing Grey-headed Goldfinches. In Republic Square the Common Whitethroats and Blackbirds were singing very actively. The Great Tits fed juveniles. And on back way I noted the perching on birch-tree Hobby. This season many birds sing again, in the city - Common Whitethroats, Grey-headed Goldfinches, Greenfinches, Blackbirds, in mountains - Black-throated Accentors, Grey Wagtails. Probably these birds will have the second breeding soon.
