Birding in Mount Abu January 2018.

This year I was fortunate to have spent most of my time in Abu whiling away my time basking in the winter sun. I did do a spot of birding as and when it was feasible. I normally go and join my bitter half during the winter months in Gujarat. Birding for migratory birds during winter in Gujarat is a pleasure. This coming winter I intend to explore a few more areas in the land of the Gujjus.
