| 8/15-20/2013 Sri Lanka! What a wonderful Island nation. The people were so friendly, the landscape beautiful and clean, and the wildlife fantastic! A big thanks to our keen guide Sam from the Eco Team Tours who taught us so much about the nature around us. The trip was too short but we got to visit Sinharaja Rain Forest, then headed to the dry region where we took safaris into Udawalawe National Park, Yala National Park, and Bundala National Park. Elephants, monkeys, crocs, and snakes were seen; even a leopard was sighted. The birding was terrific (winter months are reportedly even better). Sri Lanka: White-throated Kingfisher , Black-winged Stilt , Green Bee-eater , Common Peafowl or Indian Peafowl , Barred Button Quail , Yellow-billed Babbler , White-browed Bulbul , Red-wattled Lapwing , and some of the other wildlife seen . |
