A selection of pictures taken in January and February 2004

The Kingfishers

Four species of Kingfisher were seen, this Common Kingfisher was beside the road at Yala while the Pied Kingfisher was hovering overhead.

The Stork-billed Kingfisher was seen at Negombo and Yala area, this one being at Tissamaharama.

White-throated Kingfishers were seen in most areas but never close enough for a good photograph.
