 Birding in December 2022

The second week of Dec 2022.

The winter this year is going to be cold as the monsoon season departed much later than usual. Our night temperatures hover below 10 degrees. The lowest recorded so far has been 0 degrees.  Appreciate my endeavour of recording the birds of Mount Abu.
