Birding in the last month of the year 2021 in Mount Abu mountabubirds.blogspot.com

 Mount Abu birding in December.

The last week in December is always exceptional for birding, and this year has been no exception. Many migrants have already arrived, and we will still get to see some pipits and sandpipers as late as March. I hope to bag a new species before the year is over. Please enjoy the slideshows and photographs I have put together for your viewing.
