Birding in June 2019. Mount Abu.

June in Abu provides a respite to birders who come from the scorching heat of the plains. Morning and evenings are ideal for birding as it's not too hot. It's the month when the Honey Buzzards are most active in Abu. While traversing the jungle trails Gray Jungle-fowl, the Red spur-fowl and the Green Avadavat can be bagged. Because of a few pre-monsoon showers this year, Abu was a wonderful sight to behold. Mother Nature had cloaked Abu's hillsides with all the hues of greenery.  Appreciate the small compilation of bird snaps taken on June 2019.
