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.
All reviews, no matter how cynical or generous, are welcome. Please do not spam.
