The bonus was the opportunity to photograph the very illusive Three Toed Kingfisher which was found close to the entrance inside a thicket.
It was 4.45 am when we came to the entrance
Shikra
Grey Headed Fish Eagle was a resident on this tree
Black capped Bulbuls
Pea hens drinking water
In Harmony
Eagles Eye...
A barking deer
This young female Leopard gave us a show for almost 40 minutes and then went and drank water around 4.30

This one was on a tree very far and I wondered who could have seen it first...
This Bear entertained us by going along the road stopping to eat PALU for almost 1/4 km
Photographing this Three Toed Kingfisher was priceless. Also I have never seen a bird so friendly or fearless as it made sure that we could get good photos at very close range and if we tried .could have got a selfie with it even.
For me undoubtedly this is the most colourful and eye catching bird in Sri Lanka having at least 7 colours .
