Black-rumped Flameback
Photo of the day
|
The first of our rare birds are spotted and documented during this month. The migrants have arrived I have already photographed a few weavers such as the Sykes’s Warbler, Clamorous Reed Warbler and Hume’s Warbler. The first of my Harriers the Montagu’s Harrier I photographed on the 5 Sept 2020.
The first week was a cat-and-mouse game with the weather. We had heavy to very heavy rainfall with overcast skies to contend with during this week. Whenever a small window of opportunity offered itself, I did my daily spot of birding. Appreciate my birding photographs and documenting the birds of Mount Abu.

Montagu's Harrier Circus pygargus
The recording of this Harrier is a lifer for me. I have no idea if someone recorded previously this bird in Mount Abu. The only Harrier recorded was the Western Marsh-Harrier Circus aeruginosus. |
