WASGAMUWA EXPERIENCE IN 2012

IT IS PARTY TIME IN YALA WATER HOLES...

In September 2012 I WAS WITNESS TO THIS AMAZING SITE IN YALA .THERE WAS A FRENZY AND A PARTY MOOD AS THESE BIRDS AND CROCS HAD THE TIME OF THEIR LIFE EATING AND TASTING FISH......

 Painted storks in their numbers.

 A wooly necked Stork joining the party...

 ----And a Spot Billed Pelican too--

A Lesser Adjutant Stork watching the scene

 A juvenile Painted Stork arriving..

 And  a lucky one....

 Here comes the Crocs..

 Doing their trick by splasing the water and creating panic among the fish..

 The fish  getting into the trap...

WOW...What taste..This is delicious.
