Mount Abu–Where Every Week Tells a New Story.
The second week of August 2025 continued to offer birders excellent conditions—comfortable weather, open skies, and a vibrant forest. This is an ideal time to experience Mount Abu’s birdlife at a relaxed pace.
Key Resident Species to Watch:
Green Avadavat (Green Munia): Endangered and sought-after, Abu remains one of its last strongholds. They often forage in flocks and are active.
Barbets: The Brown-headed Barbet is especially vocal in August, its calls making it easy to locate.
Flycatchers: Look for the Oriental Magpie-Robin and the agile Spot-breasted Fantail, both active in the monsoon greenery.
Munias: The Green Munia, the Scaly-breasted Munia, and the Indian Silverbill are also busy with nesting activities.
Why August Is Special:
This isn’t the season for winter migrants, but that makes it unique—birding here in August is about slowing down and watching resident species in their natural cycle of courtship, nesting, and feeding.
Mount Abu in August reminds birders that bird watching is not always about filling checklists, but about immersing oneself in the life and rhythm of the forest.
