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...

Gotchya. . .

 

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

 A common Kingfisher looking jealous

I am Done.

Time to relax. . .

After a lapse of 3-4 years,finaly a group of 16 Greater Flamingos have come to Sri Lanka and were seen in and around Bundala park and Hambantota Lagoon.At present the whereabouts of 13 birds are not known and only 3 are seen in the lagoon of HAMBANTOTA. I too got the opportunity to photograph these much sought after birds in September 2012.
