On the left bank of the river Chirchik in the Bektemir district of Tashkent is a magnificent golf club. About half of its well-groomed territory is occupied by water bodies, the rest consists of numerous dazzlingly beautiful golf courses interspersed with picturesque groves. When you get here, you forget that you are in a large city. In winter, a large number of waterfowl accumulates on the ice-free areas of water bodies with running water. They are coot, various kinds of ducks. There is a graceful large white heron. On the man-made overgrown island in the golf club, the handsome pheasants have settled and feel at home, and a rather large colony of quakva, a relative of the heron quack, has appeared on the trees. By the way, only a few settlements of these funny birds are known on the territory of Uzbekistan. Here also regularly occur small cormorants.

Of course, life does not stand still, times change. Now in the outskirts of Tashkent you will not find the Turanian tiger, as in the XIX century. Now, to meet a snow leopard, a bear, a wild boar, a roe deer or a wolf, you need to drive from the capital for 40-60 kilometers to the mountains.
