Exploring Sri Lanka: A Field Naturalist’s Journey

Sri Lanka, the Wonder of Asia, is a top travel destination, named the best country to visit in 2019 by Lonely Planet. A paradise for bird watchers and wildlife enthusiasts, it offers one of the best wildlife experiences outside Africa. Beyond its rich biodiversity, Sri Lanka blends culture and history, featuring the iconic Sigiriya Rock Fortress—often called the 8th Wonder of the World. From ancient architecture to stunning landscapes, it’s a must-visit for nature lovers and explorers.

Crested Serpent Eagle - Spilornis cheela spilogaster - සිලූ සරපකුස්සා


Crested serpent eagle call is very distictive.
Even though the name suggests that its a reptile eater, it is prey on birds, amphibians, mammals, and fishes. Commonly can be observed where there is forest or tree cover. Crested serpent call is very distinctive and can be heard from a distance. #crestedserpenteagle #naturalist
