Uzbekistan
We didn't get to do too much birding in Uzbekistan on our trip in 2025, but since I had my 400mm lens along on the trip I didn't miss any opportunity to click a picture here and there.

Laughing Dove (ermanni)
Laughing doves are everywhere in the towns of Bukhara. We saw this one feeding on the mulberries inside a Madrasah.

European Roller
This European Roller was spotted near an electric line on the way to Ayaz Kala in the Khorezm region of Uzbekistan. I normally have a rule to not include photos of birds sitting on wires, but it's been so hard to see a roller *not* sitting on a wire.

Blue-cheeked Bee-eater
These bee-eaters were shot in a place called the Kylyz Kala in the Khorezm region of Uzbekistan. These individuals were noisily frolicking around the fort in what seemed like territory defense.
