WILPATTU TRIP IN FEBRUARY 2016

I wen to Wilpattu  in the 3rd week of February with seven friends and camped out for 2 days.


On our way we cut across from the 89th Km post and went through Anawilundawa and were fascinated by the abundance of waders.

On the way to the site we got a glimpse of this Leopard. Apparently 3 cubs have been spotted here every day for some time now.

These pictures were taken in late January and the first week of February 2016.


I thought that this White throated Kingfisher made a rare blunder thinking that the leaf was a fish after he dived in and came out.
