Raditha’s Photos

I always get confused with Kingfishers mostly because the ‘Common Kingfisher’ isn’t all that common at all in Sri Lanka, in fact it’s a bit rare. So it’s pretty easy to go downhill from there.

This one here is a Stork Billed Kingfisher (as far as I know). The photo I posted some months ago is of a White Throated Kingfisher (or at least that’s what I think)

Hiyare is a mini forest reserve at it’s center is a small man made lake which was used to supply water to the city of Galle. It was here that I spotted the Red Wattled Lapwing

The thinker on a tree, thinking about the year past and what the future holds? maybe not, this photo was taken in the middle of the year.
