Beschreibung

Mount Abu is an excellent birding destination and sits at an average altitude of 1,219 meters (4,000 feet). More than 250 species have been recorded within the Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary. The sanctuary encompasses the hill station and is the primary area for birdwatching in the region. The Green Avadavat is an endangered finch and is the star attraction for birders. It is regularly seen in the scrub and fields, especially in the sanctuary's northern areas.

Other interesting birds include Indian Scimitar-Babbler (Look for this endemic species in the forest areas), Grey Junglefowl (this bird is a specialty of the sanctuary) and raptors (Keep an eye out for birds of prey like Bonelli's Eagle).
