BIRDS
OF SRI LANKA, THE COMPLETE CHECKLIST
Birds of Sri Lanka coded for abundance, breeding, migration, wintering, endemic, rare,
etc.; 2000 pages on birds, nature, birdwatching, where to go birding, birds and nature pictures, nature conservation, equipment, bird feeding, etc. Welcome to the bird
list of
Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka is home to an
impressive number of species of birds that vary from residents, that stay
all year around, to breeding birds, that spend a good part of the growing season
in Sri Lanka to raise their young, migrants who pass through Sri Lanka with the seasons, to wintering birds who like to spend a good
part of the winter in Sri Lanka to escape colder conditions up north.
While many species of birds are relatively common as they are part of the
ecosystems of the state, it is always a thrill to stumble upon a rare bird
or vagrant, that does not really form part of any the Sri Lanka ecosystems.
Maybe it got lost during its travels between its summer and winter residence or
it got displaced by bad weather.
Among the species of the checklist of
the birds of Sri Lanka you can find waterfowl and wading birds,
a large suite of song birds, raptors, game birds, swifts and
nighthawks, etc., many of which occupy several ecosystems simultaneously, as
they fly to and from forests, meadows, shorelines of waters, cities and and
urban green spaces. At Birdlist, we have developed a coding system that can help
you predict when you may expect a certain species, with a code for seasonality,
such as resident, nesting, wintering, etc. A code for abundance will give you a
clue on the likelihood that you may actually see a certain species of bird.
As we progressed with the coding, we realized that there should be a
differentiation in the coding for "common", such as less common,
common and very common birds. However, this would require reliable
quantative data, which for most states, are not revealed by the commission of bird
records. We hope to provide those in the future. In the meantime, enjoy the
current checklist of the birds of Sri Lanka.

Welcome to Nature worldwide with the birds of this country or
territory. You will find 2 tables. the first table explains the abundance and
presence codes; the second table is the checklist of the birds. To learn about
how we acquired the information, see our
Methodology
page. We have about 2000 pages, not only on birds but also on, mammals and national parks as well as
nature related links by country.
For the list of mammals or national parks of this country or for the links,
press the link above. National Parks in developing countries need YOUR help.

For
years, I kept this website rather anonymous. But then it occurred to me
that maybe, you, the visitor, would actually enjoy knowing who and what is
behind all this. I am Daan
Vreugdenhil, have a PhD in conservation ecology, and dedicated
my career of 4
decades to the conservation of nature, for which I visited some 80
countries and learned 6 foreign languages, my native language being Dutch.
I have always felt that conservation
is a passion, not a profession. As a child, my father would take me on the back
of his bicycle into the meadows in Holland, where he taught me to identify
birds and plants.
I caught frogs, butterflies and lizards as pets (yes, most of those poor
critters died shortly after). As a teenager, I joined a
youth club for nature study, riding my bike every weekend with my fellow club
members to nature reserves in the Netherlands where I grew up. Little
wonder, when time came I studied ecology and natural resources management.
I guess, I never got over my love for nature, wild places, forests,
deserts and wild animals. I still love hitting the trail, kayaking down a
river, the wind in my ears when skiing down a slope or riding my speed
bike. Often people ask me if I don't get tired of traveling. But how can
one ever get tired of the beauty of the bright colours of Indian Fall, the
thrill of an eagle soaring the sky, the thunder of Iguaçu Falls, the
fragrance of a spring flower, a Sky Lark announcing spring, a herd of
elephants roaming the plains. My entire life has been dedicated to the
conservation of nature.
This website is my gift to you, so you can follow
me in my passion and carry on the flame of conservation, the result of
more than a decade of work for which I never got paid or never received
any subsidy. If this website in any way was useful to you, then I
invite you to make a donation to the Adopt A Ranger
Foundation. The Adopt A Ranger Foundation
is my latest contribution in my quest to save 10% of
our planet as a home for animals and plants. I also invite you to join
me in this uphill battle on Facebook where I created a profile
specifically dedicated to promoting more field staff in national parks. |
