Migrant Birds of Sri Lanka
Migrant birds are birds that travel long distances from cold winter regions to warmer regions at regular time intervals. This is a natural phenomenon which occurs due to their inability to survive the winter periods in a given habitat due to the extreme weather conditions and lack of food.

Sri Lanka, being a tropical island with diverse ecosystems, provides these weary travellers an abundance of food which makes us a favourable (and favourite!) destination for migratory birds throughout the year.

While the number of migrants we expect on our shores are huge, the start of the “migration season” is marked by the arrival of the following colourful and visible species:

1). Blue-tailed Bee-eater
2). Barn Swallow
3). Indian Pitta
4). Indian Paradise Fly-catcher
5). Common Redshank

Sri Lanka is home to large number of native as well as migrant bird species
The fauna of Sri Lanka has always been a huge draw for visitors from all around the world and the birds of the country are certainly a huge draw. The richness and variety of Sri Lankan avifauna is known to birders the world over. Every birder who comes to our country hopes to spot all thirty-three endemic species in addition to the 381 other residential and migrant species. Thanks to the extensive field experience and knowledge of our guides, birding in Sri Lanka has become a unique experience-they know the terrain, the calls, and the silhouettes- and that’s why we can help serious birders fulfill their dreams.
The dream of any birder to Sri Lanka is to spot all the thirty three endemic birds, whilst notching up a score of over 240 species of the other residential and migrant species in 2 weeks. Our top birding clients know that we live up to that dream all the time.

Colombo has a rich history that spans over 2000 years. Because of its strategic location as a seaport, it attracted traders from Rome, Persia, China, and Arabia and it was used as a main city of administration by the Portuguese, Dutch and British during the colonial period. After Sri Lanka gained independence in 1948 Colombo automatically turned into the capital city. Because of this, there are a lot of old and new attractions on offer.
