As we were and still confined to our homes from 29th October , I spend a considerable time roaming in the small garden carrying the camera . Fortunately for me ,there is a HEEN DAN tree (Syzgium caryophyllatum) in my neighbor's premises just opposite and these days many bird species come to feed etc. thus giving me an opportunity to capture some good shots.
This is one of the 2 species found in Sri Lanka. The other being Sri Lanka white eye which is endemic.
Male Purple sunbird
Male Asian Koel
Tailor bird
Common Iora
This is the Asian brown flycatcher a regular migrant bird flying all the way from Siberia /Himalayan territory. The interesting part is that this single bird has been spotted by me every year for more than 8 years in a row between late October and early April.
This is the Asian paradise flycatcher :another migrant seen almost every year though there are a few flying around
