Almaty.

Here several days' mornings I saw Red-rumped Swallows from my balcony. May be they nest somewhere hereabout. High-rise houses and mud from the numerous building are all necessary for the building of nest. By late evening my wife walking with child on Republic Square saw four Nightjars flying above the new-mown lawns. One Nightjar sat down on the tree and my wife could examine even light spots on the wings in the darkness.
