Birds in a pond, Nallur, Jaffna, Sri Lanka.

In close proximity to the Nallur Temple is the Rio Ice-cream Bar. There is a weed grown algae covered pond. It is an area with a lot of traffic close by. I spotted these birds in the pond feeding and nesting.

House Sparrow - Passer domesticus indicus, Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka.
