Mount Abu Birds in January 2021.mountabubirds.blogspot.com

 Mount Abu Birds in January 2021.

The second week of January 2021 has flown by, will update you on the bird flu scenario as and when fresh news breaks out. Today hopefully I'll post most pending post of the birds I have photographed last week. The lights have been playing peekaboo these last few days, and it's frustrating when editing snaps. Appreciate my Mount Abu bird collection.

Watched in rapt awe as the Large-billed Crow mobbed the Common Buzzard repeatedly. Enough scavenger retorted the Buzzard and went into a counter-attack, narrow escape for the jungle crow, the crow cawed his clarion call and out of nowhere four other crows were there to review the action. The Buzzard stood his ground; the crows departed after a short time.
