Lockdown blues and birding views of Mount Abu.

| Overcast skies June |
Birding in June is not as spectacular as in winter. The birder has to be content with overcast skies, gusty winds, and a few summer and monsoon migrants, such as the Indian Blackbird, Indian Golden oriole, Green Avadavat, and the Indian bird of Paradise.
Yesterday, Mt Abu, which prided itself on not having a single case of COVID-19, also succumbed to the virus. We have recorded here a positive case in the abode. Our alert administrative team will hopefully prevent the spread of the virus from escalating.
I have put together a collection of Abu birds for the first week of June 2020.
