One of the most important nesting and breeding grounds for birds in Sri Lanka with almost 260 bird species recorded.
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.
The Kumana Bird Sanctuary is situated 408 km from Colombo on the southeastern coast of Sri Lanka about 30 kilometers south of Arugam Bay. The entrance to the Park is at Panama 15 kilometers south of Arugam Bay. From Panama it is a 30 km drive to the wetland of Kumana Villu.
