Painted Storks - Mycteria leucocephala, Thondamanaru, Jaffna, Sri Lanka.




I took these pictures in Mid December 2012 on the road from Atchuvely to Thondamanaru. They were feeding in the lagoon.

Yellow-fronted Barbet, Kithulgala, Sri Lanka.

?Yellow-fronted Barbet.
On the drive from Kithulgala to Ginigathena, I saw this green bird perched on a tree with the fog obscuring a clear view. I took some rapid shots on my Nikon D90 with a 18-200 zoom at maximum zoom and camera hand held. The last picture is after editing.
