Recorded by Patrick Franke.

"The Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi is not only the most important sacred site for kazakh muslims, it is also a breeding site for about hundred pairs of Common Myna Acridotheres tristis tristis and Western Jackdaw Corvus monedula soemmeringii, which breed in cavities, formed by erosion all over the frontage of the building."
