Birds Mount Abu February 2023.

 Birds of Mount Abu in the first week of February 2023.

Mount Abu, a hill station in Rajasthan, India, is a paradise for bird lovers, especially in February. The winter months from November to February are ideal for birdwatching at Mount Abu. The pleasant weather during this time attracts various birds, including flycatchers.
February is an ideal time to spot these beautiful birds in the Abode. Migratory birds called flycatchers travel long distances to escape winter. These are the flycatchers you are most likely to see in Mount Abu now: Asian Paradise Flycatcher, Tickell's Blue Flycatcher, Grey-headed Canary Flycatcher, and Red-breasted flycatcher..
You can spot the Asian Paradise Flycatcher in Mount Abu during February. The male bird is predominantly white, with long tail feathers that can be up to three times its body length. A female bird has a distinctive crest on its head.
Tickell's Blue Flycatcher is common enough for birders to spot in Mount Abu during February. The male bird has a striking blue colour on its head, back, and tail, while the female is olive-brown.
During February, birders can spot flycatchers, Sykes's Warbler, Black Redstart, Blue Rock-Thrush, and the Indian Roller in Mount Abu.
Photographers and painters can have a field day capturing these birds in their natural habitat. The lush green surroundings of Mount Abu provide an ideal backdrop for capturing the vibrant colours of these birds. Local guides and birding experts can assist you in identifying the different species of birds and the finest spots for birdwatching.
In conclusion, birding in Mount Abu in February is a delightful experience for bird lovers and photographers alike. The presence of migratory birds like flycatchers adds to the charm of this hill station and makes it a must-visit destination for bird enthusiasts.
