Birds of Mount Abu June 2021 mountabubirds.blogspot.com.

 Birds of Mount Abu last week of June 2021.

I observed the local bird busily building nests when light conditions were okay and took snaps of the resident bird. I've put together a small collection of our native bird's pleasant viewing.

Birds of Mount Abu June 2020 mountabubirds.blogspot.com

Lockdown blues and birding views. Mount Abu.

On the 10 of June at 6.45 pm, a storm caused trees to fall, leaving us without power for 18 hours. Birding was disheartening during this period. Have a look at the birds photographed in the second week of June.
