Non-endemic Sri Lankan Birds

Sri Lanka holds an excellent range of south-east Asian species as well as a good selection of birds specific to the Indian sub-continent. Some species such as Lesser Adjutant, Spot-billed Pelican and raptors such as Grey-headed Fish Eagle whilst scarce elsewhere are really rather easy to find in Sri Lanka!
