Birds in the first week of August 2022. Mt Abu.

We have had overcast skies and misty conditions during the first week of August. We received some heavy showers and the rain we desperately needed to raise our groundwater level.

I spotted a variety of birds in the first week of August, including Indian Yellow Tit, Pied Cuckoo, Green Avadavat, Spot-breasted Fantail, Brahminy Starling, White-breasted Waterhen, Indian Robin, Indian Silverbill, Oriental Magpie Robin, Red-vented Bulbul, and Indian Paradise Flycatcher.
