With a distinctive chestnut coloured head and neck, the red-necked falcon is a small, yet unmistakable bird of prey. A predominately blue-grey plumage, contrasts with black primary feathers, and a grey tail, with a white tip. The whitish underparts are covered in a scattering of black and rufous streaking, with black banding across the abdomen.

The females look like males, except they lack the black stripe to the cheek and pink band to the nape. The nape is variably washed with blue and the middle tail-feathers on average shorter.
Juveniles resemble the adult females, but they have a pale pink bill. Their eyes are grey-white. The adult plumage starts to appear at 18 months, and is usually completed by 32 months.
trawberry Finches, also known as the Red Avadavat, are perhaps the most popular of all the waxbills! The word "strawberry" suits these little birds because of the beautiful, strawberry like coloration of the male during breeding season.
One of the smallest birds of prey, and the size doesn't make them any less hunter. A very keen eye sight, with near ultra violet range vision, you will often find them hovering low over a plain or grassland, with absolute still head, to spot the slightest movement possible.
The other alternate way they hunt is perch above ground and keep scanning the area - which it was doing, unless I appeared to frame it.

Common Kestrel is a widespread winter visitor and local resident in India. Kestrels are diurnal and prefer an "open country" habitat found in fields, heaths, and marshland. When hunting, the Kestrel hovers, almost stationary, about 10-20 m above the ground searching for prey. Once prey is sighted, the Kestrel makes a short, steep dive toward the target.
A small robin-like MIGRATORY bird, the male is unmistakable in spring with his bright blue throat, bordered below with bands of black, white and chestnut. Its central throat spot can be white or chestnut, depending on which subspecies you are looking at -'white-spotted' or the more numerous 'red-spotted'. They can be quite secretive, flicking into the cover of a bush with a flash of their chestnut tail patches easily camouflaged & hard to spot.
They small songbirds, body length of 15 cm. body feathers like a sparrow, head clear gray eyes light color, lower body side pink, almost yellow lines under the mustache. Distributed in eastern Russia, Mongolia, northwestern Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kashmir and India, China.
Nests in bushes rubble slope of the ground below or recess. Nest big and loose, constituted by the stem and grass, grass mats inside, even some fur. Eggs each producing 4-5 pieces. Egg color vary from light green, pink to pale gray, with black and purple spots and vertical lines.
This small bird which breeds in temperate Asia and Siberia and migrates all the way to the Indian subcontinent for winter. Earlier considered a sub-species of common stonechat, that winters in Africa, it has recently received species status on morphological and genetic grounds. They are primarily insectivorous, and are found in dry scrub and cultivation. Breeding males have a white collar and dark chin (Hodgson's stonechat which is rarer has a white chin).
The Indian courser (Cursorius coromandelicus) is a species of courser found in mainland South Asia, mainly in the plains bounded by the Ganges and Indus river system. Like other coursers, it is a ground bird that can be found in small groups as they forage for insects in dry open semi-desert country.
This courser is widespread in South Asia and overlaps with some other species such as the similar looking cream-coloured courser. This species is however brighter coloured than the cream-coloured courser and has a broader black eye-stripe that begins at the base of the beak. The crown is chestnut and the breast is rufous. The nape has a dark black patch where the long longer feathers forming the white stripe meet.In flight, the rump appears white and the wing tip is not as contrastingly black as in the cream-coloured courser. The sexes are alike.This species occurs in dry stony, scrubby or rocky country but rarely on sandy terrain[5] from the Indus valley east short of Bangladesh and south to the tip of Peninsular India. It sometimes occurs in the dry zone of northern Sri Lanka.
These birds are usually seen in small flocks. They are usually found where the grass is not taller than them, since the tall grass blocks their view. They feed on insects mainly termites, beetles, crickets and grasshoppers picked up from the ground in stubbly or uncultivated fields.They run in spurts on the ground but take to flight with a hoarse creaky gwaat call.The flight is strong with rapid wing beats.They fly low and begin to run after landing.
Sri Lanka Diaspora in Italy -2004
Introduction
Many Sri Lankan migrants chose Italy as a permanent working and living
destination. This led to the creation of a large and consolidated community
Over the last 30 years of which no comprehensive social scientific research has been conducted. In this sense, the Italian case is fairly peculiar if compared to other Western destinations chosen by Sri Lankan migrants, such as Canada, Great Britain, Switzerland, and Germany. In fact, the only studies that deal with Sri Lankans in Italy are concerned with a few communities that settled down in Milan, Rome and Catania.
Moreover, there are some general statistics concerning the foreign presences in Italy which take into account the Sri Lankan immigrants. On this basis we have conducted an explorative research, consisting of interviews with some key persons of the Sri Lankan Diaspora in Italy and an analysis of public statistical data and studies. Yet our mapping is incomplete. It consists of a fairly detailed description of the Sinhalese Diaspora, but largely leaves aside the Tamil one. The main reasons is the much Smaller number and influence of Tamils in Italy, as well as the lack of time and Resources for doing research on the Tamil groups in the South. Addresses of mayor Tamil groups can be found on page 14.
At the heart of the study lies an outline of the main phases of the Sri Lankan
Immigration to Italy and a mapping of the social structure of this community. It describes locations, employment sectors, organizations and integration in the Italian society.
The mapping aims to give a first systematic overview of the Sri Lankan
Diaspora in Italy, hoping to become an orientation-paper for further social
Research on the Sinhalese and Tamil immigration and for supporting political
Pro-peace activities by its members.
2.Sri Lankan Immigration to Italy
The first Sri Lankans immigrating to Italy during the second half of the
Seventies were mainly Catholic women that had been recruited for working in old people’s homes. Those were rapidly followed by people who had worked for Italian entrepreneurs in Sri Lanka at the beginning of the Eighties. Italy was seen as a temporary destination, nevertheless most of theimmigrants chose it as a permanent place of residence.
The main reasons why Italy became a popular destination were the conviction of finding employment opportunities easily and the better admission possibilities compared to other European countries. Indeed, before going to Italy, lots of Sri Lankans tried to immigrate into Great Britain, Germany, Switzerland or France, but their application for residence status was rejected. Between 1986 and 1990 a series of Admission Acts attracted many Sri Lankans. Moreover, in 1996 the Dini Decree1 simplified the bureaucratic Procedures for the family reunifications, enabling a few thousand Sri Lankans to join their relatives. Furthermore, an attraction factor has been the so-called “nominative calls”, a system of legal immigration consisting in a formal admission demand made by At that time Lamberto Dini was the Italian Foreign Minister an Italian employer who must guarantee a working place for the foreign worker (Cologne, 2003: 25).
After 1998 another Admission Act augmented the percentage of Sri Lankan men, balancing the rates between female and male presences. In the big Italian cities, such as Rome, Milan and Naples, the Sri Lankans have built up a solidarity network, creating “enlarged families” in which working positions and employment opportunities are exchanged among relatives’ and compatriots (Martinelli, 1998: 165). The number of Sri Lankan presences in Italy is not precise. There are different datas publically defunded by official institutions referring to 2003. The Sri
Lankan Embassy in Rome declares that in 2003, 80,000 Sri Lankans were
regularly registered in Italy (Interview, 2004); ISTAT, the Italian Institute for Statistics, esteems the Sri Lankan presences to be 26,474 in 2001; the
Caritas/Migrants statistics on immigration state that the Sri Lankans living in
Italy are 35,845. Taking into account these three values, we estime the Sri
Lankan presences to be 45,000/50,000.
The division of Sri Lankans into Sinhalese and Tamils is not confirmed by
recent statistics. Nevertheless, the sociologist Enrica Morlicchio estimated that 2/3 of the entire Sri Lankan population in Italy is composed of Sinhalese and1/3 of Tamils (Mottura, 1992: 294). Besides the official presences, the illegal ones are considered very high. This phenomenon is facilitated by some organizations that introduce Sri Lankans illegally into Italy, mostly through the Balkans or through Austria. The illegal traffic of immigrants is often hidden behind travel agencies or import-export enterprises. (Morlicchio, 1992). Emigrating towards Italy is considered an economical investment for a future Return to the mother country. 65% of the Sri Lankans came to Italy for working reasons. Among these 58,9% are dependent workers and 3,2% have their own enterprises. Only 0,1% have immigrated for studying and 0,7% for religious reasons, instead 31,4% for family reunifications (Caritas, DossierStatistico, 2003: 117).
Many Sri Lankans left their country for political reasons, but the Central
Commission for Recognizement of the Refugee status rejected most of the
Asylum demands. In 1993, 43 Sri Lankans asked for political asylum, but only 3 were accepted as refugees. In 2001, 555 Sri Lankans asked for political Asylum and in 2002, 1,406. Nevertheless, there is no public data about the number of accepted demands throughout the past years (Caritas, 2003: 481).

3. Location of the Major Communities
3.1. Lombardia
In 2003, 17,850 Sri Lankans lived in the industrial region of Lombardia (Ismu, 2003). Moreover, 1,860 illegal are estimated to live in Lombardia. Their place of residence is often close to the working location. 3.1.1. Milan
In 2003, 7,216 Sri Lankans were legally registered in Milan (Cologna, 2003:
24).
The first immigration waves during the second half of the Eighties towards thi City consisted mainly of Tamils, followed by Sinhalese at the beginning of the Nineties. The Sinhalese in Milan mostly come from the South-western part of Sri Lanka, especially from the cities of Colombo, Negombo, Handala, Ja-Ela, Nathandiya, Halawatha, and Wennapuwa.
The demographic profile of the Sinhalese in Milan shows that the Admission
Act from 1998 favored the introduction of men, so to balance the percentage between male (40,5%) and female (59,5%) presences. The residential locations of Sri Lankans in Milan are mainly the popular
districts of Loreto, via Venini, and Lazzaretto. Paying rent is one of the biggest problems which Sri Lankans in Milan have to face. Therefore, they tend to live in “Immigration houses” (Cologna, 2003), overcrowded flats, where morefamilies live together. Sinhalese in Milan meet in the Duomo Square during their free time or playcricket in the Lambro and Trento Parks.
The Tamils often live in caravans because they work at the fairs in Idroscalo
and Veresina, two peripheral districts are the main meeting points of the as
well.
3.2. Lazio
The most significant Sinhalese community in the Lazio region is located in the city of Rome and its surrounding.
3.2.1. Rome
Rome is seen as the biggest multicultural city and is therefore the main
Attraction centre for Sinhalese immigrants. The favorite residential areas for Sinhalese in Rome are the Cassia, Collina Fleming, and Appia districts; furthermore, the peripheral zones of La Rustica, Mentana, Prima Porta, Monterotondo, Ostia.
Throughout the years the Srilankan communities have gradually started to
establish contacts with Italian public institutions, such as the Immigration
Offices both of the Lazio Region and the Lazio County and the Regional
Employment Office. In spite of the cooperation built up with some Italian
6 institutions, during interviews Sri Lankans manifested dissatisfaction and
mistrust towards these public offices (Interviews, 2004).
During the free time Sinhalese meet regularly around the Roman Colosseo,
the San Pietro Church, the Verona Square, the Trevi Fountain or at “Castel
Sant’Angelo”, a fortress, reminding Srilankan castles (Avola, 1998).
Furthermore, the Sinhalese community organizes collective meetings in public squares, such as the Mancini and Vittorio Squares, where they post news manifestos in Sinhalese. During the summer they often meet and play cricket in the Villa Carpegna Park.
3.3. Southern Italy
Many Sri Lankans chose to live in Southern Italy because they feel its society
to be similar to their mother country’s one (Interviews, 2004).In Sicily 95,1% is concentrated in the big urban districts of Palermo (38,6%),Messina (31,4%) and Catania (25,1%) (Caritas, 2003: 468). A big Sri Lankan communitiy lives in Naples as well (Mottura, 1992: 298).
4.Main Employment Sectors
Most Sri Lankans in Italy are employed in the domestic sector3. This type of
Employment characterizes more the Sinhalese community rather than the
Tamil one. The recent emancipation of Italian women increased the demand for domestic workers.
These people, mainly Sri Lankans or Philippines, often live in the
family they work for and have one free day a week. The working condition of Srilankans in Italy has been defined as “subordinate”4 (Cologna, 2003: 64). Indeed, 97,2% of the Sri Lankans are dependent workers, mostly employed in the professional niches of domestic assistance, housekeeping, waiting, factory-work in light industry, and cleaning services.
4.1.Milan
Besides the domestic employment, the Sri Lankans in Milan satisfied their
needs for ethnic services (Cologna, 2003: 27), opening restaurants, cleaning
enterprises, call centres, video-shops, traditional food shops and minimarkets. The location of Sri Lankan’s working places is spread out all over the city. The ethnic shops are frequently situated at the Viale Papiniano market and the popular district of Lazzaretto.
4.2.Rome
Mainly all Sri Lankans living in Rome are employed in the domestic sector.
During interviews, Sri Lankan women declared to be disappointed by the
Employment market they found in Italy. They state that being dependent
2 Domestic assistance.3 cfr. Ambrosini, 1995b 7 workers mines any career possibility. Moreover, they feel that the Italian working conditions impede their emancipation even more than in their mother country (Cologna, 2003: 167).
After working for several years in the domestic sector, some Sri Lankan men
Started their own entrepreneurial activities, founding consumer cooperatives, handicraft shops, food shops, and cultural initiatives. One of the biggest school-cleaning enterprises in Rome is the “Cooperativa Multietnica di Pulizi Sud-Est”, indeed led by Sri Lankans.
4.3.Catania
The Srilankans in Sicily’s second biggest city are mainly employed in the
Service and restauration sectors or work as guards and gardeners. In Catania a small portion of Sri Lankans found employment in the agricultural
Production as well (Martinelli, 1998: 29).
5. Integration within the Italian Society
Many Sri Lankan immigrants stated in interviews that they perceive the
working tie with Italian employers as a “master-servant” relationship (Cologna, 2003: 183). This depends mainly on Sri Lankans´ subordinate workingposition that increases the mistrust towards Italians and intensifies a sort of“class consciousness” (Poltrinieri, 2001).
Sri Lankans living in Italy often have a high education on secondary level and those who belong to the middle-class in their mother country do not easily accept to send their children to Italian schools or universities. The most, indeed, prefer the perspective of studying in an English speaking country. Italians are mostly judged as impolite and the Italian education level is considered mediocre (Interviews, 2004).
The behavior towards the Italian public health system marks out the mistrust of Sri Lankans towards their host country. Especially women prefer to address to compatriots rather than to the public health institutions (Cologna, 2003:83).
Italian public institutions try to eliminate the gap between Italian society and
Srilankan community. Indeed almost each town has a “Foreigner’s Council”6,
where representatives of the biggest communities are elected in order to
participate to the local political life.
The most significant ones are the “Foreigner’s Council of the County of Florence”6, the “Foreign Communities’ Forum”7 and the “Immigration Council”8 at the Italian Government in Rome. Two Sinhalese men have been elected into these three councils: Tiskumana Ranijth Bandra in Florence and Dayaratne Ananda Sarath Seneviratne in Rome.
4 “Consiglio degli Stranieri”
5 “Consiglio degli Stranieri della provincia di Firenze”
6 “Forum delle Comunità Straniere”
7 “Consiglio degli Immigrati”
Strong ties exist between the Sri Lankan Associations and the Trade Unions,
Especially the C.G.I.L.(left-oriented) and C.I.S.L. (centre-oriented) that often
Offer rooms and financial aid for Sri Lankan meetings.Every year the administration of the city of Palermo organizes a sport Competition, called “Giornata dello Studente Tamil” (“Day of the Tamil Student”), trying to foster the integration of the large Tamil community living in Sicilian capital.
5.The Sri Lankan organizations in Italy
6.
The types of Sri Lankan organizations in Italy can be divided into five groups: associations, religious groups, politically engaged groups, multiethnic initiatives and interest groups in the Italian public institutions.
The associations deal mainly with welfare work, bureaucratic support, employment intermediation and often have contacts with the Sri Lankan
Embassy in Rome.
There are no Sri Lankan organizations in Italian only mobilizing on political
grounds. Nevertheless, there are some that perceive themselves more
Politically engaged, many of them influenced by JVP. Most of the JVP people
fled to Italy between 1987 and 1990 and started organizing the political life in the communities of the bigger cities. In Verona, Venice, Rome, and Bologna the JVP ideological background is predominant in at least one association per city.

168. Preliminary Conclusions
In this explorative study we have elaborated some key patterns of the social
Structure of the Sri Lankan communities in Italy. As outlined, the Sri Lankan
Community is composed of a Sinhalese majority (approx. 90 %). There is no
Empirically verified data concerning the Tamil and the Muslim minorities
Therefore it would be necessary to conduct a further analysis to outline more
Precisely the structure of these smaller communities. The Sinhalese reside mainly in the rich and industrial Northern cities of Milan, Verona and in Rome, Florence, Bologna, Naples, Palermo and Messina. Themain employment sector of Sri Lankans is the domestic one, even if a growing
percentage has started their own enterprises.
The Sri Lankan Diaspora in Italy is characterised by a well-structured
communitarian life. Many organizations have been established in order to
assist and support the immigrants. The Sinhalese associations are
characterised by local-based assistance activities in which politics play a minor
role. Yet, members of the Diaspora community are aware of political
developments back home and open for a dialogue for the establishment of a
Diaspora network on a national basis. The latter would aim for fostering

There is 28 years from when the sunset of freedom starts in my country. and now i feel long night started.
the newspapers are banned and closed and journalists are in prisons, websites are filtered. yesterday one of famous newspapers again was closed. freedom now a days is fade a way in front of my eyes.
I dedicate this sad shot to my Friends in hami mihan daily newspaper.
I hope the night would finish some day and sun will shine across the mountains.
