Birds of Mount Abu Birds in October 2019 mountabubirds.blogspot.com

Birding in October 2019. Mount Abu

Mount Abu is a fantastic place to visit in October. It is a fantastic month for birders and travellers. The weather is superb. The green hillsides are stunning. At the end of the year, Mount Abu is the best place to observe warblers, flycatchers, raptors, and ducks' migration. Despite going birding today, Abu was overcast with intermittent drizzle. I will post daily throughout the month.
