Notes on looking

Stories behind the photographs, field notes and things worth a second look.

Serendib Scops Owl (Otus thilohoffmanni)

Endemic birds

A call nobody could place, six years of searching, and a new species in one of the best-watched forests on the island.
Sri Lanka Shama (Copsychus leggei)

Endemic birds

The Sri Lanka Shama did not change in 2022. The way we looked at it did.
Sri Lanka Bush Warbler (Elaphrornis palliseri)

Field notes

Colour does the work for you. A small brown bird makes you do it yourself.
