Caption: Nature • Human This is the second time I travelled to Altay Mountains. Last year I lived with a Kazakh nomadic family in Koktokay. This year I joined two biologists looking for Sulphur-bellied warbler ( Phylloscopus griseolus) to study species evolution. We encountered beavers, Kazakh nomad summer move along Irtysh River, and A sky full of stars too.

Caption: The end of June to early July, Kazakh nomads move from winter settled houses to the summer pasture. The move varies the distance. It is a long and tough journey for the kids and elderly. But nowadays there is motorbikes or pickup truck to help.
