Discover Mount Abu through a birdwatching trip in February 2024.
Abu had the perfect winter experience in the second week of February, with freezing temperatures at night and warm temperatures during the day. The setting was ideal for birding - not too demanding, with just the right amount of adventure and serenity.
While the raptors appeared to be taking it easy at this time, I could still get some magnificent images of these majestic birds. Among them were the Common Buzzard, the Long-legged Buzzard, the native shikras, and the wonderful Eurasian Sparrowhawk, all on their yearly visit to the region.
I've put together a brief assortment of my daily encounters with these magnificent birds to bring you joy. Join me as we explore the exciting world of birding in the tranquil settings of Mount Abu.
