Bundala Wetlands Birding Special

Bundala hosts over 200 species including greater flamingos, painted storks, pelicans, spoonbills, and various migratory ducks. Endemic species like Sri Lankan junglefowl and grey hornbill are also present in scrubland areas.

While designed for serious birders, beginners are welcome. The expert guide provides detailed species identification help and spotting scope instruction. However, the 6-hour duration requires moderate stamina and genuine interest in birdwatching.

November through March offers peak birding with large numbers of migratory waterbirds including flamingo flocks. Early morning tours provide the most active bird behavior and comfortable temperatures for extended observation periods.
