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.
