To contain the runaway surge of COVID-19, the Rajasthan government will impose a complete lockdown from 5 a.m. on 10 May to May 24. 


Birding in the first week of May 2021 was low-key, as during the day the UV in Abu is high because of its elevation. My backyard birding during this second wave was early morning or late evening. If I spotted a buzzard or an eagle during the day, it was a bonus. Appreciate my observations and collection of birds photographed during this period. I see hard days ahead for us common folks in the months to come.
