Birds of Mount Abu October 2020 mountabubirds.blogspot.com

 I observed wild birds in the first week of October 2020.

In India, National Wildlife Week is from 2 October to 8 October.


With the pandemic still raging, they restricted birders worldwide to their local areas.  I have done my spot of birding in my area and have done birding in unrestricted areas.
This year the monsoon season was over short in its duration and we had many overcast days to contend with. I have put together my collection of birds photographed in October. View some of our not-so-common winter visitors such as the Barn swallow, Eurasian Crag-Martin and Eurasian Hobby,
Appreciate my collection.
