Birds of Mount Abu August 2017.


The monsoon season is rather active in August in this small hill station in Rajasthan. Because of the cloudy and misty weather, birders do not find this month ideal for photographing. I’ve put together a small collection of birds taken in during this period.  It’s a pretty miserable time for both the birds and birders. I assembled my collection in August 2017.
