Almaty, Republic Square

Sunny morning. I was standing and looking to the feeding Lesser Whitethroats when the Sparrowhawk suddenly flew directly between the trees about which I was. Sparrowhawk perched on the nearest birch tree, but fled at my approach. Later I saw Sparrowhawk chasing by crows, and later I found it perching on an oak's branch, and yet photographed it. Near the museum I watched the House Sparrows which hanging upside down were feeding the seeds thuja's cones. The Chaffinches arrived in the city were picking from the ground the seeds of ash.
