Birding in October 2021.Mount Abu mountabubirds.blogspot.com

Review of Migratory birds, the second week of October 2021.

Wild birds observed in the second week of October

Nights have become chilly temperatures hover between 10 to 15 degrees. Days are charming, clouds play hide and seek off and on, photographers require monitoring their setting with each change in the scenario presented to them by mother nature. In the second week, I observed migratory ducks such as Gadwall, Green-winged Teal, Northern Pintail, Northern Shoveller and Little Grebes. Raptors and the occasional vulture and some warblers and flycatchers have also made their appearance. I’ve put together a selection for viewing pleasant viewing.
