VISITI TO YALA AGAIN IN 2021...

 I went to Yala for a day trip with a friend of mine in the month of October..


Trying to lure a female
Pied cuckoo
White rumped shama


in a pensive mood
Brown fish owl

in harmony...
Barn swallows
Jutting out in camouflage
musical chairs ?
Sri Lanka wood srike


Malabar pied hornbills
...in flight
..in flight



somewhat rare - walking


We managed to see the fella drinking ....



One of the very few elephants we saw
Indian thicknee
pacific golden plover
Yellow wattled lapwing
much sort after mud bath for free...


Common redshank
Common greenshank


Barred button quail
Changeable hawk eagle

Crested tree- swift
A tusker but what had happened ??

This was real treat. the big fella was on a MADAN tree gulping down and was oblivious to our presence and went on an eating frenzy.



This was after a brief drizzle and rain. The cub was on a rock very close to us and went on drinking at its own pace before getting off.









Python

This one was rubbing against the tree...
