I have spent 3 months (Apr-June) in Kazakhstan doing fieldwork in an international project. Although it wasn’t about raptors I spent my spare time searching for them and I tried to take pictures as well.
This normally meant the worst part of the day lightwise. I added some new pictures to the next species which can be seen in the ‘New Pictures’ gallery as usual:
Black Kite ‘lineatus’ subspecies, Pallid Harrier, Lesser Kestrel, Long-legged Buzzard, Imperial Eagle, Steppe Eagle, Booted Eagle
I’m planning to write a more detailed note about the area and its raptors illustrated by habitat shots.
Enjoy the pictures!
