Now that the visitors to our oasis in the desert have petered off I will be covering the few water bodies that we have up here. Yesterday did a spot of birding at the Lower Kodra dam. Credit for the snaps taken goes to my niece Crescentia.

Disappointed at not seeing the pipits and the Red-breasted flycatcher that 
frequent this area, also the absence of the spotted owl and the Indian Scimitar-Babbler.Hopefully,
soon, we will get to see much more of our winter migrants..
Keep tuned will try to post daily happy viewing.

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

 The second week of November for me will be low-key birding as at the moment Abu is choc blocked with the thousands of visitors enjoying their Diwali vacation. Next week the crowd will ease off and then my birding will start. Have snapped a few warblers, flycatchers, vultures and raptors. Appreciate the collection I’ve posted below.
