Today was a transition day, from Sigiriya to Kitulgala, where we are staying in the Heritage Kitulgala Rest House – made famous as the centre of operations for filming ‘The Bridge on the River Kwai’. With nearly six hours spent travelling there was only a couple of hours at the end of the day to go birding – but boy what a couple of hours that proved to be! Most of the good stuff was seen from the car park, including the two endemic parrot species, a couple of new bulbuls and a general assortment of other interesting stuff. Wifi here is a little limited so that might impact on the number of photos.. let’s give a go.
