October birding [2022]Mount Abu.

Third week of October 2022.

Review of migratory birds, the third week of October 2022.

This month I observed that the number of eagles that normally visit this abode has been less in numbers. The warblers are still coming in. Hopefully, their count will go up. At the moment the greenish warblers, Hume’s warblers, Blyth’s Reed Warbler, and the Red-breasted flycatcher are here.

The Second week of October 2022.

I observed wild birds in the second week of October

In India, World Wildlife Day is from 2 to 8 October.

Since its inception, World Wildlife Day has become the world's most significant wildlife-related event. The theme for World Wildlife Day (WWD) this year is "Recovering key species for ecosystem restoration".

Review of migratory birds, the second week of October 2022.

Nights have become chilly as temperatures hover between 10 and 15 degrees. The days are charming; the skies are clear, and birding is a pleasure. In the second week, I observed migratory raptors and the occasional vulture. Some warblers and flycatchers, Greenish warblers, Hume’s warblers, and the Red-breasted flycatcher have also made their appearances. I’ve put together a selection for your viewing pleasure.
