A little hunter of the rainforest.

The Chestnut-backed Owlet (Glaucidium castanotum) is a small owl endemic to Sri Lanka, found mainly in the island’s forests.

Unlike many owls, it is often active during daylight, hunting insects, small reptiles and even other birds. An interesting behaviour is that smaller birds sometimes gather around and mob this tiny predator when they spot it.

A little bird with the instincts of a formidable hunter.

Some of those rare moments when we were able to get up close with the elusive leopard in the montane forests.

Catching a glimpse of the Sri Lankan leopard in these mysterious mountains is a real challenge, unlike in the lowland national parks. They are extremely hard to spot, perfectly camouflaged with the rugged terrain.

One must listen carefully to alarm calls from other wildlife especially sambar deer, squirrels, and monkeys and also have sharp eyes to notice even the slightest movement in the plains.

Above all, to photograph these elusive cats, it is important to give them enough space to feel comfortable in your presence and to respect their natural behavior.

Mannar turns pink each year as Greater flamingos arrive, brushing the quiet lagoons with soft color and life. Drawn by shallow, food-rich waters and warm coastal winds, these winter visitors transform the northern wetlands into one of Sri Lanka’s most delicate seasonal wonders.

Flamingos visit Sri Lanka to avoid harsh winters, drawn by warm, shallow lagoons rich in algae and tiny crustaceans that provide both food and their pink color. Mannar, with its calm waters and low disturbance, offers an ideal place to feed and rest, making it an important seasonal refuge along their migratory journey.
