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

Birding Abu Road 29 Jan 2021.

Our birding episodes took off on 29 Jan 2021. Cres did a recce prior to my arrival at the environs around Abu Road. After we did a spot of birding around our backyard, we headed to a place 17km away called Sakoda, Rajasthan, IN (24.539, 72.663). We visited a small water body there hoping to observe the migrants. Murphy’s law when we reached there the local villagers were picnicking at this spot. We got 'few water birds.' Appreciate the photographs I’m posting.
