Birding In March Mount Abu

Birding in March in the abode of the gods is just ideal, the climate is pleasant and spring approaching, and the countryside is lovely. Winter visitors include the Common Kestrel, Black Redstart, Eurasian Sparrowhawk, and raptors such as the Common Buzzard, Long-legged buzzard, Short-toed snake eagle, and Booted eagle are still around for birders to snap. The migratory ducks such as the Northern Pintail, Northern Shoveler, Common Pochard, Tufted Duck, and Common Teal are here until the last week of March.
