	WORLDTWITCH - Birding in Sri Lanka & Southern India by Jon Hornbuckle
		If the owners’ son is in he can usually show you where the roost is, but if not, as when we went, it’s a struggle since the birds change trees quite often.
		We looked fruitlessly for Brown Wood-Owl in the huge cypresses near the Grand Hotel, where it had bred 3 months earlier, and drove to Labookalie Tea Estate to be sure of seeing Hill Swallow.
		Just inside the first one is said to be a good area for Brown Wood-Owl, but unfortunately I misunderstood the directions and so failed to look for it even though we were there before dawn.

		Mostly rather drab and brown in appearance, but a male in full breeding plumage has a most exotic livery and stunning white wings in flight.
		Brown Shrikes were seen most days, with the peak recordings from Uda Walawe (8).
		However storms tend to blow good birds into shore, and a motley mystery brown bird seen from our hotel at Negombo flyng up the coast has with the benefit of the domestic library been identified as an immature Pomarine Jaeger (with a very remote chance that it was possibly Parasitic).

		The grounds are a regular haunt of Brown Fish Owl, Pied Kingfisher, Streaked Weaver, Common Woodshrike and Indian Robin.

	Brown-capped Babbler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Brown-capped Babbler is an endemic resident breeding bird in Sri Lanka.
		This babbler builds its nest on the ground or in a hole, concealed in dense masses of foliage.
		They can be difficult to observe in the dense vegetation they prefer, but like other babblers, these are noisy birds, and their characteristic calls are often the best indication that these birds are present.

		Marbled Wren Babbler, Malaysian Whistling Thrush or Rusty-naped Pitta although the latter was heard, but the overall birding was enough to compensate for that.
		Realisation of how much work is needed to see the birds soon kicks in when you have spent two full days in the forest and seen only common stuff and even this is not easy.
		During my stay here I was again unlucky and did not see the babbler or any barbets, which although vocal, proved impossible to see.

		We soon found our first endemic, a Brown-capped Babbler, as it furtively flitted from one side of the track to another in response to Deepal’s playback giving views with varying success.
		Another endemic was Orange-billed Babbler, a species similar to Yellow-billed, but with a more rufous plumage and of course an orange bill.
		Soon after we heard a bird feeding flock approaching and soon there were Orange-billed Babblers coming out to the edge of the road.

		Could it get any better?, Yes, just as the light had completely gone nightjars started to call and we were treated to multiple views of both Indian and Jerdon's Nighjars so that we could not only see the size and plumage differences but also observe the display and feeding differences.
		En-route we stopped at a roost site for Brown Wood Owl but this site is the subject of a lot of disturbance by locals and only a few of the group were fortunate enough to see the birds.
		Three more endemics were quickly seen; Orange-billed Babbler, Ashy-headed Laughingthrush and White-cheeked Starling, as well as two species of cuckoo, Chestnut-winged and Indian and finally, excellent views of Layard's Parakeet.

	Birdwatching and Wildlife Holidays in Sri Lanka with The Travelling Naturalist (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Crossing the river by dug-out canoe, we shall spend the latter part of today and all of the next exploring Kitulgala's quiet forest trails, which are home to such exciting endemics as Sri Lanka Hanging Parrot, Yellow-fronted Barbet, Orange-billed Babbler and Sri Lanka Grey Hornbill.
		Although it lies a fair way from our hotel (the closest suitable accommodation), the journey to this magnificent spot is well worth the effort as it supports over half of Sri Lanka's endemic mammals and butterflies, and all but one of Sri Lanka's wonderful endemic birds.
		From time to time, we may be side-tracked by myriad colourful butterflies, while movements in the canopy high above might not all be from birds, but the result of Grizzled Giant Squirrels or the island's two endemic monkeys, Purple-faced Langur and Toque Macaque.

		Further explorations around Kitulgala brought bounties of the endemic Brown-capped Babbler, a feeding flock with a splendid white male Asian Paradise Flycatcher, White-bellied and the endemic ('Crested Drongo') form of Greater Racket-tailed Drongos, Southern Hill Myna, Black-hooded Orioles and a Lesser Yellownape.
		Orange-billed Babblers signalled the approach of the bird-wave, joined by Greater Racket-tailed Drongos.
		An early start on New Years Day was essential for a trip to Horton Plains, and as we ascended to the higher ground we flushed another Brown Wood Owl from the roadside.

	Malaysia 2000
		Highlights included a White-chested Babbler, Grey-breasted, Spectacled and Little Spiderhunters, but the bird of the day was undoubtedly a (first year?) male Great Argus, seen close to the trail at the top of the slope (B. Teresek end of JM trail).
		Just as yesterday, multiple pittas were calling as we arrived, and bearing in mind advice from Aidan Kelly's report that the first 200m of the trail (from the Mini Zoo end) were often the best for the pitta we started out extremely slowly and cautiously.
		Brown-winged Kingfishers were common as ever along the quieter stretches, and we also found a couple of Black-bellied Malkohas, Greater Flamebacks etc. Highlight of the trip however was Mr Dai's hilarity at the antics of KB acting as "the boatman's apprentice" trying to free the outboard from submerged foliage in a narrow mangrove backwater.

		We didn't, but still saw Brown-capped Babbler, the endemic subspecies (or species depending on which taxonomy you follow) of Black-crested Bulbul and excellent views of an adult Black Eagle hunting over the forest.
		Despite the help of the estate manager's son the Brown Wood Owls were nowhere to be seen, and looking in the guest book later it would seem that no-one at all recently has been lucky.
		The forest is the largest remaining area of primary rainforest in Sri Lanka, although interestingly most of the birding is done in secondary forest.

	Birdfinders - Birdwatching Holidays - 2003 Sri Lanka tour news
		It was not until the following morning, around our Hotel at Sigiriya, that we discovered that forest birding was not so easy - obtaining good views of our first Indian Pitta in the dimly lit undergrowth proved to be a frustrating experience, although eventually the bird performed magnificently for us.
		Over the next few days the group began to familiarise itself with a continual stream of new birds, not to mention the bewildering array of barbets, bulbuls and babblers.
		As we soon discovered even urban areas produced good birds - a stunning male Indian Blue Robin and a male Pied Thrush were found in a town park at Nuwara Eliya.

		Many of the species were in a couple of big feeding flocks, which were initially located by the noisy calls of the Orange-billed Babblers.
		This proved excellent with Brown-capped Babbler (much easier here than at Sinharaja where we did not see it), Indian Pitta, Brown Wood Owl, Black-naped Monarch, Hill Myna and Emerald Dove.

	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Meghalaya subtropical forests (IM0126)
		More than 110 mammal species are known from the Meghalaya Subtropical Forests [IM0126], but none are endemic to this ecoregion.
		The tiger, clouded leopard, Asian elephant, Assamese macaque, bear macaque, capped leaf monkey, wild dog, sloth bear, and smooth-coated otter are threatened species (IUCN 2000).
		Several of the other hornbill species-wreathed hornbill (Aceros undulatus), brown hornbill (Anorrhinus tickelli), and great hornbill (Buceros bicornis)-are indicators of intact and mature habitat; these birds depend on tall, mature trees for nesting, without which the populations will decline.
