The sedges dominate. Mosses grow between the sedges. The willows were scattered small bushes of about 1 meter height; although a big patch of thick bushes of about 1,8 m height grows only a few meters away from my observation point. The water in the wetland was mostly slowly running. <BR/>KonradAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898647049367538632.post-71551810548144168042007-08-08T19:01:00.000-07:002007-08-08T19:01:00.000-07:00Dear Konchog and Veery,indeed in May the LTS is mo...Dear Konchog and Veery,<BR/>indeed in May the LTS is more widely to be seen during a migration. <BR/>As for a rarity of the sighting, it is likely so. Unfortunately there is no checklists of birds of Mongolia like Bold et al.'s one in hand, but I do not remember if LTS was seen in that area in the breeding time and (!!) in so suitable habitat, that may be basing for a nesting presumption for this sporadical breeder.egor_13https://www.blogger.com/profile/05915575462997975936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898647049367538632.post-24902377663684884512007-08-05T15:54:00.000-07:002007-08-05T15:54:00.000-07:00Interesting post.

It's a very interesting site where springs create wetlands right next to pure sand dunes. An amazing desert trap for migrating water birds. Unfortunately it's quite remote and rarely, if ever, birded.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898647049367538632.post-7884119137954472962007-07-30T02:36:00.000-07:002007-07-30T02:36:00.000-07:00That's very interesting.
