A few thousand miles south east ish!

 The feet were well itchy, and it was about time for another little trip for some new scenery and some awesome birding. So lets set the scene a little, with a few hints?

Del boy's gone all up market.

An improvement on the old three wheeler!
I think the first one gave it away a bit! the beach is twelve miles long around a fabulous bay and not a tanning person in sight in fact even the fishermen are only allowed here for two months of the year during the Lobster season.

A couple of the mammals encountered on the trip then..

Asian Elephant and baby.

Asian or Black naped Hare

Spotted deer or Chital Stag.

Tawny striped Squirrel.
There is not much that goes to waste here, even Elephant dung is used by a number of insects and birds.

His Mrs is on the other side laying her eggs as they roll

Caught at the tank side or retrieved from under a submerged log ?

A few of the animals seen during my jolly around the island, oh nearly forget there was one other seen.

To see these beautiful cats ten feet away is awesome.
A few more of the Leopard in the next instalment  Sri Lanka or if you are old enough Ceylon.
The place is amazing and the only place to drink tea is in the small homesteads were it is done proper!
