Mount Abu Birds May 2017.

After my short stint in Gujarat from January to April, I returned to Abu.
My brief stay had its moments of difficulties. I did some lovely birding trips. I engaged in swimming, but the disagreement with the people out there led to my banishment shortly after. My short stay was a disaster according to my bitter half. I came back in May and it sure was a blessing, as Gujarat was boiling and Abu was paradise. Below are the few birds I snapped in May.
