Bird Watching

For the first time ever we went bird watching with some friends outside of Colombo. I was not really into it, but being polite and was looking forward to getting out of the city for a bit and it was free. The first hour I could not see much, it is not like the birds fly up next to you and have a seat while you look at them. The binoculars are difficult at first to look through. Then I was amazed at how many different birds were hanging out in this wetlands area. Our friend brought a bird book with her, then we ran into the author of the bird book trying to get some pictures. We got his autograph and Dan was jealous of his telephoto lens it was massive. Here is some pictures, since Dan was not completely happy with the photos he has ordered a new zoom lens, it comes next week.
