Visitors to Sri Lanka Will most certainly have wildlife on the agenda if not wholly then certainly a wish to see the most popular of the islands big cats, the Leopard in particular is a favourite and with over seventy pairs in the Yala National Park, it is no wonder it is as popular as it is. And so it was a no brainer that it should be included in the trip itinerary. The first encounter was with a large male at first light even before reaching the park, he disappeared into some rocks and we could hear him grunt calling for his or a mate. further sightings were to come.

| This Lady was difficult to spot. |
She sat for a good while, with a distended belly after what could have been a good feed. but soon she was up and away.
 |
| An intent stare , she had something on her mind! |
 |
| Passing within ten feet WOW! |
An amazing animal with such grace and poise, and those eyes seem to look right through you.
 |
| At its closest and not bothered at all. |
 |
| Beautiful eh! |
There was to be another encounter with a male in the Wilpattu National Park along with another of the cats the Jungle cat a real rare sighting indeed. So A little to follow in the next Blog.
Cheers
