VISIT TO SIGIRIYA IN SEARCH OF THE VAGRANT CHINESE POND HERON......

 I went to Sigiriya in the 4th week of April with 3 fellow photographers to confront the vagrant Chinese pond heron as the word was out that a solitary bird has come after a few years and has been spotted inside of the Sigiriya rock fort. We were lucky to see the bird and a few more.
