Titel: Richard's Pipit - First breeding record for Kyrgyzstan

Beskrivelse: First breeding records of Richard’s Pipit Anthus richardi in Kyrgyzstan. The age of the bird is stated adult thanks to Netfugls sharp-eyed readers (thanks!), however we first thought it was a juvenile. It was unable to fly, the breatsband faint spottet, had yellow at the base of bill, and layer of down/feather under scapulares were thin. Richard’s Pipit is rare in Kyrgyzstan – I have seen one specimen during migration. But thats the case in Kyrgyzstan where fellow birders and I during the last years have found 3-5 new birds/breeding records for Kyrgyzstan every year. So Richard's is a welcome bird on the list. So, in total we now can conclude tha five adults were observed this day 20/7 in a marsh-area on the southern shore of Lake Issyk-Kul, busy foraging and with food in the bills. While trying getting pictures of the distant adults for documentation – difficult… Jan Haaning-Nielsen comes towards us, talking about a “pipit-like” bird he just picked up from the ground few hundred meter away. First optimistic yelling is about how ridiculous odd it could be if it was a juvenile Richard’s Pipit,… so within few seconds later Jan shows the object. And no doubt – the hindclaws are extreme, breast striped and no black between bill and eye… A Richard’s Pipit. After pictures were taken and the bird admired it gently were placed safe and hidden for eventual predators. The Richard’s Pipits were observed and documented by: Bjarke Haaning Nielsen, Ole Amstrup, Morten Jenrich Hansen, Martin Lund, Jan Haaning Nielsen, Henrik Haaning Nielsen, Peter Schjødt and Michael Westerbjerg Andersen.
