Birding in November 2021 Mount Abu.mountabubirds.blogspot.com

Recording the Migratory birds in the Last week of November 2021.

Birding in the last week of November was a huge disappointment for me. I had counted on to cover more flycatchers, pipits, buntings and warblers, but their absence was just like those of our transient ducks. This year, only a few ducks have so far made their arrival. Have snapped and recorded a few raptors but their numbers seem to be on the lower side. I’ve placed together a compilation of my observations. Confidently, you appreciate the birds of Mount Abu.
