Almaty. Crossbills.

Yesterday trip to Kimasar gorge was so ineffectual that I didn’t write the post to blog. There were no birds, I tried to find Crossbills but unsuccessfully. I guessed that birds ate all they can to eat and flew down to the city. May be I am right. Today I noticed the flock of about 20-25 Crossbills perching on birch-tree in Square of Journalists near Ramstor in Samal. When I came back with camera birds are not in same place on birch-tree. But flock in one moment appeared and landed on oak. Birds were moving from oak to pine-trees and feeding the seeds from cones. Crossbills are not shy and I approached to them to the short distance.
