Birds Mount Abu in January 2023.
Greetings from our small hill station in the new year. This is my initial post for the year 2023.
It is a fascinating place to visit. Visitors admire this Abode of the Gods. Bird watching is also good here. There are only a few notable species here, such as the Green Muni, the Spur Fowl, and the Indian Scimitar-Babbler, not neglect our Tawny-bellied Babbler. Abu, in comparison, is not a birding paradise comparable to other places.
Before I rant on, let me wish all my viewers “A joyful overdue NEW YEAR”
On Christmas Eve, I visited Abu Road, a small town in Rajasthan, India, renowned for its picturesque landscapes and rich wildlife. Given the limited number of birders in the region, I used the chance to examine and document a wide range of bird species, particularly those residing in the foothills of Mount Abu, and investigate the reasons behind certain species not venturing higher up the hill. I noticed that the House Crow, Pied Bush-chat, Bay-backed shrike, Common Babbler, and Large Grey Babbler are rarely observed in Mount Abu. My interest in nature and wildlife dates back to my teenage years, and I hope that my bird species documentation in both Mount Abu and Abu Road will assist future birders who visit these regions in Rajasthan. As I compile my collection, I will post bird species photographs taken during the last week of December 2022.
