Descripción

The 18,149 hectares Kumana National Park is a bird sanctuary where a multitude of birds breed and roost. Kumana National Park is the eastern sector of Yala National Park. The vegetation consists mainly of mangrove trees, kumbuk trees and the karan fern, as well as the open marsh area. One of the most significant sites for birding within Kumana National Park is Kumana Villu - a 200 hectare natural swamp lake, fed by the Kumbukkan Oya through a half mile long narrow channel. It is at this mangrove swamp that many water birds’ nest in May and June. Regular sightings include pelicans, storks, spoonbills, ibis, herons, egrets and cormorants. Rare species such as Black-necked Stork, Lesser Adjutant, Eurasian Spoonbill and Great Stone-Curlew are breeding inhabitants.
