Birds of Mount Abu April 2020 mountabubirds.blogspot.com

Birding during the Second Wave of COVID-19 In Raj IN.

Mount Abu birds the second week of April 2021.

In view of the COVID situation, and the 3-day curfews imposed this weekend from 17 Friday till Monday morning, have suspended all tourist and local movement. Hopefully, there is no second lockdown of the coronavirus running amok.

With the onset of summer, our native birds are underway with their breeding activities. The Indian Robins, Brown Rock Chat, Red-wattled Lapwing, and large-billed crows are all busy propagating their species. I’ve put together a collection of birds photographed in the second week of April.

Believe that the Full moon makes birds more energetic and humans more dynamic. How far it's true I'll leave that to your imagination.

Birding in Mount Abu January 2018.

This year I was fortunate to have spent most of my time in Abu whiling away my time basking in the winter sun. I did do a spot of birding as and when it was feasible. I normally go and join my bitter half during the winter months in Gujarat. Birding for migratory birds during winter in Gujarat is a pleasure. This coming winter I intend to explore a few more areas in the land of the Gujjus.
