Scarlet Minivet - Pericrocotus flammeus - Kosgama, Sri Lanka.

I took these pictures using my Fuji HS 250 using near the maximum end of the 30X built into the camera. It was a hand-held shot aimed at a branch of a very high tree. The bird was very small and was quite agile.

Great Egret - Casmerodius albus

Picture taken in the moat between the Batticaloa Fort and the old Rest-House. The water was drying up and the fish in the rapidly drying up water was easy prey for the birds, as seen in the video below.

Royal South African Pelican, Kandy



The Kandy Lake was the home to three Royal South African Pelicans in the 1980s. Now they are gone. This is a picture I took in 1988.
