Weekend visitor #2
A rose-ringed parakeet (Psittacula krameri) playing hide and seek with me in the front yard.
It’s quite difficult to spot a bright green chap amidst the vegetation. But his occasional squeak gave him away… 🕵🏽

A Black-headed Ibis (Threskiornis melanocephalus) posing at the Thalangama lake, today.
Nothing more relaxing nor rewarding than to see biodiversity unfold around you, with or without a camera nearby. And humbling when you are rewarded.

A balancing act — An Asian openbill (Anastomus oscitans) patiently awaits prey.

On top of things.
Boxing Day vibes.

I heard a small kerfuffle outside my work window. When I peeped out a red-headed mama was feeding her red-headed junior on our neighbour's coconut tree.
Sri Lanka red-backed woodpecker (Dinopium psarodes) — endemic.

Meet Mr. Drongo, the permanent resident there.
White-bellied drongo (Dicrurus caerulescens)
A Loten's sunbird (Cinnyris lotenius) visits daily these day
Mrs. Loten's is close by, probably nesting or getting ready to.
A white-browed bulbul (Pycnonotus luteolus) stops by now and then on the way somewhere.
Oriental magpie-robin (Copsychus saularis) is a common visiter too. There was a pair on the mango tree the other day.
My friend Mr. Drongo's friends stop over at the favourite spot, or shall we say #hotspot...

Looking cool in red stockings 😎
The Asian openbill or Asian openbill stork (Anastomus oscitans) striking a pose, maybe hoping that the frog below can’t recognize its ominous shape.

Stunning.
Lovely capture!
A lone Spot Billed Pelican (Pelecanus philippensis) looking for its next meal in a pond on Medin Poya day. Rather curious fellow, swam close to check us out. Sweet…🦢

A brown-headed barbet (Psilopogon zeylanicus) checking out the guava.
One of my favourite garden birds. Their call reminds me of the country-side.
A barbet a day keeps da doctor away! Any bird would :-) 🦜🦤🪿🦆🐦⬛🦉🦅
