'Brown-headed Barbet' - Megalaima zeylanica, Avissawella, Sri Lanka.

Picture taken in our home garden, Avissawella, Sri Lanka. These birds are attracted by the bight yellow colors of the 'papaw' and banana fruits. When the fruits are placed in the feed box in our garden, they eye the food from a tree top close by and make a loud cry repeated many times. Then they quietly swoop down and consume the fruit in absolute silence. Their cry is the most frequently heard cry in the jungle. This interferes with recordings of 'bird-crys' of other birds.

'Crested Serpent Eagle' - Spilornis cheela spilogaster, Maligawila, Sri Lanka.

I spotted this eagle on the branch of a tree in the foliage near the Maligawila Buddha statue at Butthala, Sri Lanka. It was stationary for quite sometime and was not disturbed by the passage of people close by.
