Birding in The Abode of Gods August 2018.

Birds of August 2018. Mt Abu.

August is the month of average to heavy rainfall. This year, the rain gods did not bless our abode with their presence, as they were busy monitoring the rest of the country where sinners needed their much-awaited cleansing. In some parts of the country, cleansing was carried out in extreme measures. So much for the rain gods, let's get back to our birding in August in our hills.

The Green Munia, or Green Avadavat, fondly called the Haria here in Rajasthan, is the much-sought bird by birders worldwide. August is the best time to visit Mount Abu and add this coveted bird to your collection if you don't already have one. We see these beauties all over Abu in August in large numbers.

These are the few birds that I recorded in August 2018. They are Baya Weaver, Black Lored tit, Common Myna, Crested Bunting, Green Avadavat, House sparrow, Indian Robin, Indian Silverbill, Jacobin Cuckoo, Oriental Magpie Robin, Red-vented Bulbul, Red-wattled Lapwing, Rose-ringed parakeet, Rufous creepy, White Throated Kingfisher, White-spotted fantail, and the Yellow-eyed Babbler.
