Second part of the Udawalawa National Park. While we didn't see any new endemics during the day there was an excellent list of birds recorded during the day. Some of my own lifers seen during the day were Painted Stork, Great Thick-knee, Indian Thick-knee, Grey-headed Fish Eagle, Rain Quail, Sikeer Malkoha, Blyth's Pipit (great to get some experience of at least one individual), Jerdon's Bushlark, Grey-bellied Cuckoo, Jungle Prinia and Marshall's Iora.

| Yellow Wagtail, beema, lutea, fledegg and thunbergi are the four race recorded to winter in Sri Lanka. This bird and the one below which seemed to be the most common type we encountered don't seem to match any of those four however.. |
