Birding in Mount Abu during the first week of Jan 2022 mountabubirds.blogspot.com

 Observing birds on Mount Abu in January 2022.

The weather was unpleasant from a birder's point of view, misty and damp, with the occasional drizzle. I did no birding this morning because of the low visibility and misty conditions. The weather opened up slightly around 1 p.m. The birds also made their appearance, and I was fortunate to get some decent shots of some birds. I hope tomorrow is a better day.

7 January 2022.
The morning was pleasant, with just a whisper of clouds. It was enough to do a spot of birding. By noon, the weather took a turn for the worse. I packed up my gear and headed indoors. Looking forward to the second week of January to cover our water bodies. Appreciate today's shoot.
