Abu Road and Environs Birding February 2021 mountabubirds.blogspot.com.

 Birding in the first week of Feb 2021. Abu Road Rajasthan IN.

3 Feb2 021.
On 3 Feb 2021, we covered a small area around Danvav Anand samovar at the base of Mount Abu. Then on 4 Feb 2021, we covered our favourite grove opposite the Madhusudhan temple (24.499643, 72.713104) on the Revdar road. If anyone planning to do a spot of birding in Abu Road, I recommend this one place they should visit. Before venturing into this area, courtesy demands to take the permission of the Maharaj at the temple. Have a look at the highlight of our birding trip, appreciate the photographs.
