VISIT TO UDAWALAWE NATIONAL PARK AFTER SIX YEARS....

I went to Udawalawe with some friends and their families in the 2nd week of June and stayed one day inside the park in one of the bungalows called SINUGGALA. Though the variety of animals were not that much , it was quite picturesque in many places in the park.

This was a friendly tussle and quite rare to capture on camera.

The path was full of sceneries like this.

This changeble Hawk Eagle landed on the lake bund and was looking for something...

The site of spotted munia's in a flock like this was common.

This was nice to capture.

This was quite eye catching...

These two Imperial Green Pigeons were roosted on a tree close to the bungalow in the late evening  and was quite oblivious to our photography session.

Sunrise was quite a soothing sight.

The moon was visible even at 6 a.m.

This Grey Heron was in an unusual partnership with the buffalo in the water moving around..

This Black Winged Stilt was bathing nicely....

A Pied Kingfisher was resting on the sand

An Oriental Bush-Lark

To get a photo of an Eurasian Hoope is not that easy as it moves fast.

Blue Tailed Bee -Eaters

This one was eating in the lake adjoining the Bungalow.

In flight....

The morning exercise.....

This Giant Squirrel was quite tamed and was near the riverside where we went bathing the following day.
