Birds in the first 2 weeks of August 2021. Mt Abu.
The month of July had its shares of overcast skies. Had a few showers at intervals but not much rain, only 2.4 inches. Total rainfall this year so far is 18.8 inches. The first 2 weeks of August have been dull with overcast skies and misty conditions. So far, the rain gods have not smiled on its abode. Guess the gods are busy monitoring the havoc the pandemic has caused so far. Humanity has never lived in is so much fear and apprehension as they have for the last 2 years. Abuites are anxious as the onset of our monsoons are yet to make its actual appearance. . Hopefully, we get our quota of rainfall.
Birds recorded by me in the first 2 weeks of August are Indian Yellow Tit, Pied Cuckoo, Green Avadavat, Spot-breasted Fantail, Brahminy Starling, White-breasted Waterhen, Indian Robin, Indian Silverbill, Common Hawk Cuckoo, Oriental Magpie Robin, Red-vented Bulbul, Black-winged kite and Sykes’s Warbler
