I went to Sinharaja for a day's visit in the last week of December on my own. Although I tried to get a couple of friends to join me, for various reasons, no one could come and I made use of the opportunity and it was a fruitful visit as I was able to clearly photograph the secretive and illusive Sri Lanka scaly thrush for the first time after trying for several years.

This was the icing on the cake. I have made more than a few effort trying to photograph this beautiful Endemic SRI LANKA SCALY THRUSH for a very long time. Although I got a record shot in a foggy morning in Ohiya where the sightings are almost guaranteed, finally I got my chance and it was quite worthwhile
