Birding in [ September 2022 ]Mount Abu mountabubirds.blogspot.com

 Birding in the first two weeks of September 2021 Mount Abu.

It was utterly drenching for the Abuites from the 1st of July until the end of August because of the monsoon. The weather department predicted one thing, but nature did another and there were overcast days and thunderstorms in August..

There has been a slight lull in tourist activity, but not for long. Weekends are boon days as thousands flock to this abode to enjoy the lush greenery and cool temperatures. Migrant birds have not yet appeared this year. Alpine Swifts, Barn swallows, Eurasian hobby, harriers, warblers, flycatchers, and ducks have yet to appear. Raptors and vultures who visit here have been absent.

Hopefully, I’ll record our winter visitors later in September. Enjoy my collection for the first week of September 2022.

Birds in the Third and fourth week of August 2022. Mt Abu. 

The monsoon season brought more rainfall than usual this year in the small hill station of Rajasthan. In August 2022, most of the time it is cloudy, which makes photographing birds in the last two weeks of August 2022 not ideal. I took some snaps that I considered would intrigue you during that time. Here is a selection of birds I captured during this time.

 In August 2022, I recorded the following birds: Indian Yellow Tit, Common Myna, Green Avadavat, House sparrow, Indian Robin, Indian Silverbill, Pied Cuckoo, Oriental Magpie Robin, Red-vented Bulbul, Red-wattled Lapwing, Rose-ringed parakeet, White-throated Kingfisher, White-spotted fantail, and Yellow-eyed Babbler.
