Field notes
Owls & nightbirds
A small owl that hunts by day as well as by night, often found close to the lodge.
Only described to science in 2004, this tiny owl is a prize for any visiting birder.
Perfectly camouflaged pairs roost by day in the undergrowth; guides know where to look.
A huge forest owl, linked in Sri Lankan folklore to the eerie call of the “devil bird”.
