Mount Abu’s Winter Wonders
The second week of January witnessed a significant cold wave, triggered by the unseasonal winter rains that occurred earlier (known here as the "Mavath"). Night temperatures hovered between 10 and -5, turning the hill station into a “mini-Switzerland” for a few days.
As part of my daily birding stints, because of pressing unforeseen circumstances at home this year, I have not visited our local water bodies to catch glimpses of Mount Abu’s feathered winter visitors. I’m yet to document the Black Redstart, White-capped Bunting, Green-winged Teal, and various pipits. However, I'm hoping the situation turns for the better, and I can once again hit the road, bag some bunting, including the elusive Crested Bunting.
Till then, indulge in my capture of some of our exclusive winter visitors.
Will be back with some more birds snapped during the third week of January.
Bird of the Week.
