Abstract:
Between May 2018 and May 2021, we conducted 194
field visits surveying birds in Kirala Kele Wildlife Sanctuary,
Southern Province, Sri Lanka (5.979ºN, 80.513ºE; Fig.
1). Here, we present possible avifaunal changes between our
study and an earlier study (Seneviratne 2005) in the same area,
from October 2002 to end of 2003, and highlight species of
concern. Seneviratne conducted a series of bird surveys lasting
“approximately 100 complete days” in his study (Seneviratne
2005).
