Jouanin's Petrel!
One of two past together on seawatch Colombo, Sri Lanka on 4th June. After years (6) of seawatching here we finally got a decent, if not exactly close, JP. Grainy seawatchers-only grade videos, but we much enjoyed the moment :-)
Grey-headed Albatross in #SriLanka!
Amazing find by dedicated sea watcher Lahiru Prasanna Walpita at his regular watchpoint on the Laccadive Sea coast near Mannar Is. 1st #albatross in Sri Lanka and seems to be new species for South Asia and indeed the Northern Hemisphere.
All the bruises, pain, and mud crawling up to this beauty is worth seeing such a specimen up close ! Red Knot....Ready to depart for their Arctic breeding grounds. @crasi1net
Finally, 4000 checklists in Sri Lanka ! eBird has become a part of life now, with over 3 years of checklist streak. Happy to contribute to nature and conservation with some additional fun and challenges.

Topped eBird Sri Lanka 2023 with most species (tie with @IroshanRupe) and also the highest number of checklists. By far, this is the highest number of species reported in a single year for Sri Lanka. @Team_eBird 🦅🦆🦢🦉🦩🦚🦜🐦🐦⬛
My patch in the golden dusk. With the Eastern Cattle Egrets showing up after few months absence, Swallows and Sandpipers, the place feels full again.....#PatchBirding#Birding

This week Bageshri remained off the northeastern coast of Sri Lanka and has moved relatively very less suggesting that she has been feeding extensively in that area.
