SRI LANKA 2025

I was joined by a small group of lovely people for another terrific Wingspan Tour of the fascinating Island Country of Sri Lanka. Our local Guide, Dhammi was at his usual best, he found all the 33 endemics for us as well as over 200 other species. The scenery, diversity of wildlife and the good nature of the Sri Lankan people made this a wonderful Tour. Thanks go to ‘Little’ Phil Naylor for the use of his excellent photographs in this report, to ‘Big’ Phil Miles for his bird finding skills and help with getting everyone onto the birds and to the rest of the group for their contribution to the bird list and good-humoured banter, Sue, Alison, Rachel, Rick, John and Sally.
