MOUNT ABU BIRDS MY PERSONAL COLLECTION

As a nature lover, bird watching has always fascinated me. I’ve been taking pictures of birds since I was in school in Mount Abu, where I learned about the local birds and their nesting habits. I learned to identify birds chiefly by their calls. I’ve been taking pictures in the wild for several years."Explore the diverse bird life of Mt.Abu with my detailed blog post: See the rare species in their NATURAL ENVIRONMENT. Experience the ecosystem of this INCREDIBLE MONTAINOUS region" Welcome to Abu.

Birds of Mount Abu [ July 2022 ] mountabubirds.blogspot.com.

Backyard and hillside birding in Mount Abu

Here in Mount Abu, the third week of July has been continuously overcast and misty. It is a depressing time for most Abuites, a season when mildew embraces everything and the smell has a nauseating effect. It’s a time when clothes don’t dry, the streets are murky, and it’s a hassle to protect one’s equipment. Birders have to cope with the incessant fine drizzle, making it challenging to detect rare birds. Lighting conditions frustrate most birders, especially when they perceive some rare birds.

The following is a small assemblage of birds that I photographed during this period. I appreciate your understanding that I try to maintain this list updated as regularly as possible.
