Migratory birds in December 2020 Mount Abu mountabubirds.blogspot.com

 Migratory Raptors, ducks and warblers were observed in December 2020.

Four days to Christmas. This past week Abu has seen frost almost every day. Night temperatures are chilly and the day by the afternoon is not so bad. As usual, I have fallen back on posts, anyway now that I have the freedom I'll be posting most days keep in touch and appreciate my collection of Mount Abu birds. I've bagged a lifer for this area, it's the COMMON HOUSE MARTIN. Other migratory birds I've clicked are the Black Eagle, Common Buzzard, Long Legged Buzzard, Eurasian Sparrow-hawk, Eurasian Crag-Martin, Hume's Warbler, Greenish Warbler and Taiga Flycatcher.
