Sri Lanka Frogmouth (Batrachostomus moniliger) a nocturnal and uncommon species that is found in tropical dense forests in Sri Lanka & southern India only. Locating such a small cryptic wonder needs super skills that our local forest guides superbly possess.
A regular highlight in our Sri Lanka birding journeys.
