Ile floodplain - Bura - Ile canyon
6 photos · 92 species
Riparian forest of Ile river - burned grove, saxaul thickets, asian poplar thickets. Bura - roadside thickets of asian elm. Wells in the desert near Kulanbasy. Ravine on Itzhon plateau. Ile river rock canyon.
At morning we used bird calls to photograph Turkestan Tits, not all of Tits actively reacted to calls, some of them didn't pay any attention to call. In the burned grove of asian poplar there were many Common Starlings flew to tree-holes with the Grasshoppers in bills. Also the Kestrels were noticeable. The Saxaul and Tree Sparrows were building the nests. In Bura we saw Long-legged Buzzard on the nest, and several tree-holes on the quite low height. At tree-holes we saw Saxaul Sparrows which didn't begin to nest in my opinion. In Ile rock canyon the first we observed was the nest of Golden Eagle from which two adult birds flew off. In the nest there were two chicks, one of them had several dark feathers. Also we watched the pair of Rock Nuthatches were building the nest.
May 5-6, 2012. Two days trip list.
