Birding in  April 2014.

This year the beginning of April, was a veritable paradise, with pleasant days and cool nights. The fag end of April well we Abuites are surprised that there are such a swift and drastic change in the climate. The days have turned hot with the temperature hovering close to 40C, even the night has turned warm and fans and coolers have to turn on.
I have managed a small collection of birds for the month of April. Hope you enjoy them. Happy Viewing.
