Birding in the last week of the year 2020.Mount Abu

 Last week of the year 2020. 

Will do my daily birding for a short period every day in the last week of the year 2020. Christmas this year in the pandemic has restricted movement, so am content birding from home. #ATHOME is the new norm for humanity at the present time. So appreciate my bird snaps at ATHOME.
