A fantastic day in the best national park I have ever visited – we saw over 100 species of birds, lots of mammals, reptiles and butterflies...........

This was our best day yet despite being on the road for 5 hours we managed to see more birds than on any other day so far……………………..

Our earliest start yet! The day began as we all scrambled into the bus at 5am for the 90 minute journey to Horton’s Plain national park.

Another pre-dawn start, John and I met with Jith and our driver at 5:45am, the girls Dawn and Gill stayed in bed, how wise!

Our last morning at Kithulgala was a very good one, it was also a very early start! We met Jith our guide outside the hotel at 05:45 in the dark, he wanted us to be in the field before light to give us a much better chance of seeing the ‘0wlet’.
