I was in Wilpattu with my daughter and 11 others ( mostly my close relations) in the 1st week of September 2016 and camped in KOKMOTE near the river. It was the furthest camping and accommodation site and is more than 50 k.m from the entrance and takes 2 hours .
Copper-smith Barbet
Indian Robin
Sri Lanka Hornbil
Indian Paradise Flycatcher
Wooly necked Stork
Camouflaged
This is the only Leopard we saw at the same place all the time on 3 occasions. May be it had a kill on a tree close by .
This was in the 2nd day morning and it started stalking the Deer a little further to the left due to the animal instinct perhaps more than the hunger
And it was this close but did not continue......
This was my favorite shot : A Green Bee-eater toying with a Bee
Pacific Golden Plover
This was when we were going back for breakfast after the round.
Very rare
Sri Lankan Chameleon /; Bodiliya
This one is called :GHOST MANTIS" and looks like fallen twigs.
Juvenile Changeable Hawk Eagle
Although generally shy, we saw a few Barking Deer and looked quite human friendly.
