Birding in November 2021 Mount Abu.mountabubirds.blogspot.com

Recording the Migratory birds in the Second week of November 2021.

Now that the visitors to our oasis in the desert have petered off I will be covering the few water bodies that we have up here. Yesterday did a spot of birding at the Lower Kodra dam. Credit for the snaps taken goes to my niece Crescentia.

Disappointed at not seeing the pipits and the Red-breasted flycatcher that 
frequent this area, also the absence of the spotted owl and the Indian Scimitar-Babbler.Hopefully,
soon, we will get to see much more of our winter migrants..
Keep tuned will try to post daily happy viewing.

Birds of Mount Abu MAY 2019.

It's the nesting season for most of the birds. Early morning and late evening are the most suitable time for birding in Mount Abu. The blazing sun during the day in May is best avoided.  Appreciate the collection of birds I've taken in May 2019.
