Pheasant-tailed Jacana - Hydrophasianus chirurgus, Thalawathugoda, Colombo, Sri Lanka.





It has been called the 'Jesus Bird' because it looks as though it is 'walking on water' when it is walking on the broad lotus leaves.

Common Ceylon Drongo - Dicrurus caerulescens, Avissawella, Sri Lanka.

A very common bird. It mimics various sounds that it hears. I have heard it mimic a cat's mew.
