2017 03 Sri Lanka Birds in Uda Walawe National Park

Our visit to Uda Walawe National Park, Sri Lanka was so amazing.  I share the wonders of nature, Birds..  We enjoyed an afternoon and morning drive.


Malabar Pied Hornbill sits up in a tree

I have included four pics of the Bee-Eater, it is truly beautiful.  They seemed to want to show off their beauty as we drove through the park.

Perfect against the blue sky of Sri Lanka





Painted stork, Storks are virtually mute




The Hoopoe is also found in the UAE


The egret has a way of walking through the water very slowly and gracefully.  This guy did not notice the croc.  And the croc did not notice him, or the croc had already eaten breakfast.

The egret moved within inches of the croc, John captured these pics..

This egrit was not in the park but seems to fit with the birds I am sharing



The Hawk-eagle is incrediable
 



The is an Indian Robin.  He is beautiful.  He looks nothing like our Robins in Canada.


John seemed to spot the iquanas

We only saw on kingfisher



Malabar Pied Hornbill  These guys are so cool

When we first arrived in the park in the early morning there were many Pea Fowlls in the trees, making lots of noice





Uda Walawe  Lake had so many great photo opts.. The dead trees created a wonderful home for many birds
