 Birds on Mount Abu in January 2022.

9 January 2022.
It’s cold to venture outside before ten in the morning as the ole bones are creaking. The cannon turns ice cold too. Abu winters have arrived with temperatures hovering between 5 and -4 degrees. Abuites get up to frozen gardens, cars, and two-wheelers. It’s too cold for me to venture out before ten.
This season, I’ve noted an upsurge in the number of White-eared bulbuls. Our local, the Red-vented Bulbul isn’t fond of the White-eared Bulbuls. At the moment, I am focusing my attention on observing the small birds; warblers, flycatchers, pipits, and buntings. I’ve posted some birds I captured yesterday. I cherish you, and appreciate seeing them as much as I have enjoyed photographing them.
