Road to Chilik (Kuldja trakt) pass along the Tien Shan mountains to the East. Villages follow in sequence. There are no wild places. However I saw some birds "from the bitumen". In the first place Upland and Long-legged Buzzards. These large raptors occurs over 15-20 kilometers. The road across a lot of little and large rivers. On one near Malovodnoe village I stopped and watched the birds. Flock of Lapwings (5 birds), two Green Sandpipers, pair Eurasian Collared Doves (common local bird) and the flock of Yellowhammers. Last days were very cold and birds focused near the water. All of the birds didn't fly far from the water.
From the Lavar the roadside thickets of Djida (Russian Olive) are beginning. Djida on winter is a goodly feed to the all birds. On winter time probably to see a lot of birds on Djida trees. Today I have seen many Blackbirds, several Black-throated Thrushes, Jackdaws and Hooded Crows.
There are many Blackbirds, Rooks and Jackdaws in Chilik. Sparrows mostly are Tree Sparrows, I saw only several House Sparrows. On Chilik locality I have met several Long-legged Buzzards and one male Common Kestrel. On grape plantations there are a lot of Tree Sparrows and several Crested Larks. Flocks of Greenfinches, Great Tits and Azure Tits on the roadside thickets. All these birds I have seen from the car window.
After a dinner I have a free time and have gone to North semi-desert plant continuing from Chilik to Kapchagai. The local field roads were snowed and I couldn't to go to lake. But some birds I have seen in semi-desert. Twice I have seen hunting female Kestrel. A little falcon has hang-up and has spied the mouse. I have watched to the Kestrel about five minutes. Falcon has made two attacks but without success. Also I have seen a flock (20-25 birds) of Calandra Larks, Greenfinches, Blackbirds, Black-throated Thrushes, two Mistle Thrushes, three Great White Egrets (apart), one male Hen Harrier, two Pheasants and one Great Grey Shrike.
