	Sri Lanka Wildlife Holidays - Birdwatching
		Just after dawn is the best place to look for the orange-billed babblers, Ceylon paradise flycatchers, Ceylon crested drongo and Ceylon blue magpie.
		And there are usually some parakeets screeching to help you wake up if you’re not a morning person.

	Ratu Demalichcha (Endemic)
		Very similar in size and form to the Hisa-alu Demalichcha, but distinguished from it by its rofous coloration and bright orange beak and legs.

	Birding Trip Report to Sri Lanka, March - April 2001
		One feeding flock that we came across beside the main track contained several Orange-billed Babblers, Ashy-headed Laughing Thrushes, Red-faced Malkohas, Layard's Parakeet, White-faced Starlings, and Crested Drongo (endemic race of Greater Racquet-tailed), as well as Asian Paradise Flycatcher, Indian Scimitar Babbler, Dark-fronted Babbler and Yellow-browed Bulbul.
		After an early morning's birding at Kandalama (seeing Sri Lanka Junglefowl, Barred Buttonquail, Forest Wagtail, Tawny-bellied Babbler and Long-billed Sunbird) we visited the magnificent ancient city of Polonnaruwa for the morning, and went to Sigiriya in the afternoon.
		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.

	Sri Lanka
		The feeding flocks are dominated by Orange-billed Babblers and thus relatively easy to find.
		Brown-capped Babbler Pellorneum fuscocapillum - we only saw this species at Kitulgala and Sigiriya.
		Red-faced Malkoha Phaenicophaeus pyrrhocephalus - the best way to find this spectacular bird is to look for mixed feeding flocks with which it associates at Sinharaja.
