Birding in June 2019. Mount Abu.

June in Abu provides a respite to birders who come from the scorching heat of the plains. Morning and evening are ideal for birding as it's not too hot. It's the month when the Honey Buzzards are most active in Abu. While traversing the jungle trails, birders can find Gray jungle fowl, Red spurfowl, and Green Avadavat. Because of a few pre-monsoon showers this year, Abu was a wonderful sight to behold. Mother Nature had cloaked Abu's hillsides with all the hues of greenery.  Appreciate the small compilation of bird snaps taken in June 2019.
