		The view was poor because of intervening vegetation and poor light, but we were pleased to be able to see her at greater length without flushing her again.
		We found this bird near a pond that Ben King had discovered in 1973 when he nicknamed it "Arrenga Pond" (Arrenga is the Sinhalese name for the Ceylon Whistling-thrush.) He was the first to discover that the bird could be seen sometimes at this spot.
		At this point we were beginning to think the tough ones were easy and vice-versa, since the common Ceylon Hanging-Parrot was frustrating all of us by repeated bullet-like (and uncountable) fly-overs.

		We visited the Labookellie tea estate and factory during the afternoon, and saw Ceylon White-eyes at a nest in the car park, and Hill Swallows nesting under the eaves of the tea factory.
		There was a lot of traffic, with birds continually flitting from the rice stems to a roost in bushes out of view, so I didn’t get good views of all the birds.
		The birds were in a streamside bush, apparently a regular roosting spot, but the only possible way to get a view was to get into the stream, and wade around the bush in order to look back.

		Winter visitors were much in evidence too, the warblers including Blyth's Reed, Green and Large-billed being somewhat eclipsed by Forest Wagtail, Indian Blue Robin and the stunning Pied Thrush; there were also large numbers of the lovely Indian Pittas, which seemed to be calling all over the island.
		After a pre-breakfast last attempt for the spurfowl we conceded defeat; we had heard them and one or two people had glimpsed a bird in flight but the spurfowl lived up to their reputation of being notoriously elusive.

		In wooded valleys two endemics occur, Dull-blue Flycatcher and the highly localised Ceylon White-eye, and areas of scrub and low trees have two more endemics, Ceylon Bush-warbler and Ceylon Woodpigeon.

		Paddyfield Pipits, Pied Bushcats and Fan-tailed Warblers were common, and we also saw Pacific Swallow, Yellow-eared Bulbuls, Indian Scimitar Babbler and two Munias in flight which may well have been the endemic Black-throated Munia but unfortunately we could not get better views.
		Only two (the Whistling Thrush and Bush Warbler) of the endemic bird species have not been recorded here, and much of the flora is also endemic.
		The forest is the largest remaining area of primary rainforest in Sri Lanka, although interestingly most of the birding is done in secondary forest.

		A few tense minutes later, during which little was seen, a succession of exciting birds appeared, with Forest Wagtail by the stream, followed by the recently split Sri Lanka Scaly Thrush sitting in the open on top of a bush, and a male Pied Thrush perched in a tree.
		As we left things to quieten down, we bumped into yet more Pied Thrushes, typically sitting motionless in the trees, although some were in full song; we estimated a minimum of seven males, but only one female appeared.
