Birds at Mount Abu in May.(2023)

Discovering the Birds of Mount Abu in May is a birder's delight. 

In Abu, the UV levels can be high during the day in May. To make the most of your birding experience, it's recommended to go early in the morning or late in the evening when the temperature is cooler and the birds are more active. The first week of May this year was delightful in Mount Abu, with the weather feeling exceptionally cool and comfortable.
There are many bird species to be found on Mount Abu, including both resident and migratory birds. In May, you can observe rare bird species such as the Asian Paradise Flycatcher and Green Avadavat.
For those interested in bird photography, May can offer great opportunities for capturing stunning shots. Early morning and late evening light create beautiful effects. Use a fast shutter speed to freeze the bird's motion and ensure a clear, unobstructed view.
Appreciate the collection I've put together of the birds photographed in the first week of May.
