Birding in November 2019. Mount Abu.
Birders heading here for Mount Abu should avoid the first 10 days of November(Post Diwali). Abu at the moment is crowded and there is a constant flow of vehicular traffic throughout the day and late into the evening. Also, the weekends till December should be a NO. Birders try to make it mid-week when there is a lull in the tourist movement.
The Alpine Swift, Common Hawk-Cuckoo, Eurasian Marsh-Harrier, Pallid Harrier, Eurasian Sparrowhawk, Eurasian Crag-Martin, Greenish Warbler, Hume's Warbler, Booted Warbler, Common buzzard, Long-legged Buzzard, Grey Wagtail, and a few species of sandpipers are among our migratory winter visitors. The Green Munia should be on everyone's list because Abu is probably the only spot where a birder may add this RARE bird to his collection.
