Raptors, vultures, migratory ducks and warblers have arrived in Mount Abu.

Today, the third week of September had rolled by. Overcast skies and thunderstorms were the order of the week. It’s still continuing, and the meteorologist has predicted it will continue into the first week of October. The photographs I’m posting of the week will be dull and drab because of the weather.

Raptors, vultures, migratory ducks and warblers have arrived on Mount Abu.

We are into our second week of September 2021. Have had a few thunderstorms with some rain so far the met department has recorded about 2 inches for the 2 weeks that have flown by. A few of our migratory raptors have already arrived, some ducks and other water birds. I’m waiting patiently for the Alpine swift and the warblers that are yet to come. Enjoy the selection of the few birds that I have posted. Some photographs will be rather dull and grainy. I can’t help it it’s the monsoon. Season, overcast and misty conditions are the birders’ constant companions of the year. Click on any photograph to see the expanded view. Happy viewing.
