I hold a record as the first birder from Colombo to visit Sinharaja rain forest in a tuktuk – a feat achieved to bag the ultra-secretive Bay Owl in a daytime roost in Jan, 2007.

Mr Amila Salgado has proved himself to be an avid nature photographer and seems to be greatly aware of the fauna and flora of our beautiful motherland Sri Lanka. His photostream is full of interesting and well taken photos of beautiful insects, birds and animals with their correct identifications. I admire his work a lot and regard him as one of the highly talented Sri Lankan nature photographers I've encountered in Flickr so far. I hope Amila will be able to contribute a lot in future.
