Highlight: Birds Spotted on 16 April 2025.
Mount Abu is home to a fascinating avian heritage, including two notable subspecies first described here and bearing the name “abuensis”—a nod to this unique region.
Abu’s Tawny-bellied Babbler (Dumetia albigularis abuensis)
Abu’s Red-whiskered Bulbul (Pycnonotus jocosus abuensis)
Despite inhabiting neighbouring areas, these subspecies' close relationship with Mount Abu makes them unique to the area’s bird life. These species are unique to India and strongly connected to this stunning sanctuary’s local character.
The Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary continues to be a vital refuge for these birds and countless others, safeguarding the rich biodiversity of the Aravalli hills.
Bird of the day.
