Sri Lanka, Summary – March 2017

The process of identifying some of the more difficult species, such as amphibians, geckos, crabs, etc , is still ongoing, but everything else has been added to the species list, and is also listed below. Further species will be added to the main list as they are identified. Most of the key species I’d wanted to see, some of which I didn’t actually expect to see, were seen. I’d have liked to have seen many more snakes, and notable mammals not seen include the Indian Pangolin, the rest of the cat species, lorises… I feel we did well though.
