Sri Lanka

Although a relatively small island Sri Lanka has a high level of biological endemism. 16% of Sri Lankas fauna and 23% of its flora are endemic to the island. Sri Lanka is has recorded over 450 species of birds of which 25 are endemics. Many are spectacularly coloured and remarkably confiding others are far more difficult and need patience and perseverance. It also has over 120 species of mammal, 171 species of reptiles, 106 species of amphibians, and one of the world’s largest populations of blue whales and sperm whales, Sri Lanka is truly an animal-lover’s dream come true.

With an avifauna of over 400 species of which 34 are endemics with many more being shared with the Indian subcontinent it is a must see destination for birders. It also has a number of great mammals including Indian Elephants, Leopards and Sloth Bear. The best time to visit for birdwatching is from December through to March when large numbers of Palaearctic migrants swell the numbers of resident birds and when the onset of the dry season makes traveling around the country easier. Sri Lanka is also an excellent place for photographers.
