Birding in June 2017 Mount Abu

From a birder's point of view, Mount Abu is one hill station where the variety of birds falls short of expectations of viewing exotic birds like in other hill stations. June is a month when this small hill station crawls with visitors from all parts of India to escape the scorching summer of the plains. At this time of the year, birders are fortunate to get photographs of the endangered Green Avadavat (Munia). Other common birds native to Abu are Black-lored Tits, Brown-headed Barbet, Large-billed Crows, Shikras, Rose-ringed Parakeet, Black Bird and a variety of Prinia'.  

I've put together a small collection of birds clicked in June hope you appreciate my handiwork.
