Birds of Mount Abu May 2022 mountabubirds.blogspot.com.

 Birds at Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary in May.

This exclusive hill station experienced scorching day temperatures during the last week of May. They restricted bird movements to food and water and feeding fledglings. The shikra and large-billed crows continued preying on the birds 24/7. Here are some photographs I took during these periods. I hope you enjoy them. Have a nice day!
