Wild Bird Day 9 Oct 2021 Mount Abu. mountabubirds.blogspot.com

 The theme of World Migratory Bird Day 2021 is “Sing, Fly, Soar–Like a Bird”

Wild Bird Day is part of the Global Bird Weekend. Birders from all parts of the world take part. It's a global event that aims to be the biggest-ever birding weekend. From this end of the world, I also send my observations and contribution towards the species I recorded in this Abode of ours. This year the birds especially raptors, made my day. Appreciate the birds photographed on 9 Oct 2021.
