Join me on my January birding exploits as we uncover the hidden gems of Mount Abu’s vibrant bird life.
The Duck Pond: A Beloved Haunt
As promised, let me take you to a cherished spot – a unique water body I call “The Duck Pond.” This tranquil haven has been a focal point of my birding adventures for years. I’ve noticed with regret a decrease in migratory birds at this peaceful spot, emphasizing the urgent need to conserve these areas.
Celebrating Winter Migrants
Despite difficulties, the duck pond continues to attract a range of winter migratory birds, enriching the scenery. I invite you to enjoy the photographs I’ve curated. These images showcase the resilience and beauty of the birds who visit our cherished Duck Pond.
Here’s to appreciating and protecting the wonders of nature, one bird at a time!
