Explore the Avian Delights: Birding Adventures in January at Mount Abu. 2024
Embark on a journey of discovery across the stunning landscapes of Mount Abu as we dig into the intriguing world of avian wonders in the last week of January 2024. Despite the chilly and even foggy weather, my birding visits reveal a fascinating variety of both local and migratory birds, each providing a dash of colour to the peaceful surroundings.
Unveil the Spectacular Sightings: Among the bright species photographed via the lens were the stunning Black Redstart, the secretive Asian Koel (a rare visitor to our region), the magnificent Long-legged Buzzard, the graceful Eurasian Sparrowhawk, and the superb Great Egret (a nice surprise as a non-common wanderer). Each sighting expressed the diverse range of bird life that thrives in Mount Abu's calm environment. Looking forward: As I enter the second week of February, I am excited to share more stories from my birding adventures. Stay tuned as I prepare to share more adventures and interactions with the wonderful feathered inhabitants of Mount Abu.
Birding in January at Mount Abu was a pleasant experience, providing insights into the captivating world of birds against a backdrop of breathtaking splendour. As I carry on with my exploration of nature’s beauties, let us bask in the splendour of these winged marvels and treasure the times spent in communion with the bird dwellers of this intriguing hill resort. Stay tuned for more experiences and discoveries in the weeks to come.

As I wrap up this blog article, here’s a helpful suggestion for being safe when visiting Mount Abu’s forest paths, whether you’re birding, trekking, or taking a leisurely walk in nature. It’s critical to be aware of your surroundings, with your ears and eyes focused on the terrain. Recent observations have shown that sloth bears are moving closer to the town's locality in quest of food. If you come across these gorgeous beasts, especially if they’re accompanied by cubs, act with care and prioritise your own safety by leaving for a safe spot.
