Ile Alatau National Park. Little Almaty river.

At early evening I passed to the mountains just to sit on the river side. Saw Grey Wagtails. Some Wagtails jumped straight up and caught the insects in flight. On one of the jumps the Sparrowhawk tried to catch the Wagtail. But the Wagtail was quicker than Sparrowhawk, the raptor was left without prey and perched on nearby tree.

1. Sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus)

2. Grey Wagtail (Motacilla cinerea)

3. Magpie (Pica pica bactriana)
