Birds of Mount Abu Birds in [ September 2019 ] mountabubirds.blogspot.com

Birding in September 2019. Mount Abu.

The retreating monsoons by mid-September usually peter off, This year it's been lingering on and we are still being blessed with heavy showers off and on. Our winter migrants have made their appearance. Greenish warblers, Red-breasted flycatchers, Gray wagtails, the Eurasian Hobby and Harriers have already been recorded by me here in Abu.

The retreating monsoon gave us our final few life-sustaining heavy showers. Today birding under overcast skies was thrilling as I bagged 3 hobbies and managed some other species. Hopefully, in the next few days, get clearer pictures with clear skies.
