Birding in March 2022 Mount Abu 2022 mountabubirds.blogspot.com.

During spring migration, migratory birds return home, and local species multiply.


Birds like the Common Kestrel, Black Redstart, and Eurasian Sparrowhawk are still present in March, along with raptors like the Common Buzzard, Long-legged buzzard, Short-toed snake eagle, and Booted eagle. The climate in the region is pleasant as spring approaches. The hillside is lovely. Birds like the Northern Pintail, Northern Shoveler, Common Pochard, Tufted Duck, and the Common Teal migrate here until the end of March.
