Beschrijving
Around the Nilaveli Beach Hotel there are some beautiful patches of mature forest mixed with small-scale arable fields. The woods and the fields are both rich in birds, just like the adjacent Nilaveli Lagoon with its mudflats and mangroves. A 4 km circular walk during the early hours of the day will bring you lots of birds and quite nice species. Among the birds you can expect are Malabar Pied-Hornbill, Blue-faced Malkoha, Jerdon's Nightjar, Great Stone-Curlew, Eurasian Hoopoe, Indian Roller, Brown-headed Barbet, Sri Lanka Green-Pigeon, Black-hooded Oriole, Shikra, Jerdon's Bushlark, White-browed Bulbul and Purple Sunbird.
