Photo Galleries Birds around the house May 2017. mountabubirds.blogspot.com

Birds of Mount Abu snapped in May 2017.

After my self-induced confinement in the concrete jungle of Ahmedabad, I finally made it up the hill with my tail between my legs to get away from the scorching heat of the city. It’s been a boon ever since I returned to the Abode of the Gods on the 8 May 2017. I have been able to indulge in my birding activity and be home in the hills. Humour me and try to give a thumb up for my efforts to improve my photographic skills. Birds shot in May.
