Mount Abu birds in March 2023.

 Birds of Mount Abu last week of March 2023.

The weather in March this year was unprecedented. This has been the most unpredictable spring in years. Day temperatures were below average, and nighttime temperatures were between 5 and 10 degrees. The Eurasian Sparrowhawk, Steppe Eagle, Bonall's Eagle, and Indian Vulture are still here. There were a few ducks, sandpipers, and wagtails. in our favourite water, which we have nicknamed Duck Pond. View my collection of birds photographed in the last week of March 2023.
