Birds of Mount Abu June 2020 mountabubirds.blogspot.com

Lockdown blues and birding views. Mount Abu.

On the 10 of June at 6.45 pm, a storm caused trees to fall, leaving us without power for 18 hours. Birding was disheartening during this period. Have a look at the birds photographed in the second week of June.
