Birds of Mount Abu October 2020 mountabubirds.blogspot.com

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

The monsoon is over; the winter is setting in the night. Temperatures linger a little below 15 degrees C. Next month Abuites will welcome the onset of winter with their woollies and basking in the sun. Birding during the fag end of October was disappointing as I had hoped to see a greater number of raptors, also warblers and flycatchers were fewer in numbers. The number of migratory ducks and sandpipers has gone up and hopefully,  by December, their numbers will keep increasing. Appreciate the slide shows and photographs I'm posting.
