Birds at 'Karuwelagas Wewa' ( Ebony trees tank), Puttalam, Sri Lanka.



On the Puttalam - Anuradhapura road, I found this tank teeming with bird life on the 12th & 14th of July 2015. Open Bills were a plenty. Egrets, Black-headed Ibises, Cormorants & a lone Indian Darter were evident. I hope you enjoy identifying each species on this video.
Keep your speakers on.
