I have been an ardent wildlife enthusiast for the longest time I could remember though I started photographing the wildlife after 2010 and my inner special interest of bird watching and collecting feathers which I did with my elder sister when I was a teen some 50 years back came out . Today my main interest is bird watching, bird photography and birding that gives me immense satisfaction, calmness and relaxation. So far I have photographed more than 245 birds of which some are endemic to Sri Lanka and some are residents or vagrants and the others are considered migrants.
