Review of Migratory Birds, Last week of October 2021.
 |
| "HAPPY DIWALI FROM THE ABODE OF THE GODS" |
I had hoped that many more migratory birds headed this way by the end of October. They will be here in mid-November. Warblers and a few flycatchers have landed. I have observed a few raptors, this year the Common Buzzard has increased in numbers., I have yet to observe and photograph the Long-Legged Buzzard, but I will probably do so by December. In my rare trips around Abu, I failed to see the stonechat and the usual pipits. My birding during this Diwali season will be low-key as the tourists will be here in large numbers. My regular outings and scanning of my favourite birding spots will be on hold until the rush departs from around mid-November.
