This is a blog devoted to my collection of photos of the birds of Sri Lanka. Most were taken by me. Picture above was taken at Sithulpawwa, Sri Lanka, shows a Pea-cock. Philip G Veerasingam. Contact - philipv203@gmail.com.
The cry 'whee.... quee quee' makes one look at the sky. The 'Brahminy Kite' either single or in a pair will be visible high up. They spot any free ranging chicks on the ground. They swoop down and pick them up for a hearty meal. I took this picture on the river bank of the Kelany Ganga at Aswaththe in Avissawella, Sri Lanka.
The sky was getting dark presaging thunder and lightening. I saw this bird having a quick snack before flying off to its place of refuge.
I took these pictures on the old Dutch Fort, Batticaloa.
I saw this pair from the rampart of the old Dutch Fort in Batticaloa, Sri Lanka.
