Birds of Sri Lanka

We were on a family vacation  In Jan 2018 to Bentota and Nuwara Eliya. I managed to squeeze in some birding. The best highlight of the trip was a visit to the Horton plains. Horton plains have preserved the original flora and fauna of Sri Lanka. Here are a few shots from Horton Plains
