I observed wild birds in the last week of October 2020.

The monsoon is over; the winter is setting in the night. Temperatures linger a little below 15 degrees C. Next month Abuites will welcome the onset of winter with their woollies and basking in the sun. Birding during the fag end of October was disappointing as I had hoped to see a greater number of raptors, also warblers and flycatchers were fewer in numbers. The number of migratory ducks and sandpipers has gone up and hopefully, by December, their numbers will keep increasing. Appreciate the slide shows and photographs I'm posting.

WISHING ALL MY VIEWERS

HAPPY DEEPAWALI

AND

A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR

I observed wild birds in the third week of October 2020.

The warblers and other migratory birds such as flycatchers, raptors and ducks are still making their way up the hill. I had gone down to Abu Road for 2 days and did a spot of birding there.
