Ceylon Spurfowl

It is a very secretive bird, and despite its size is difficult to see as it slips through dense undergrowth. Often the only indication of its presence is its distinctive ringing call, consisting of series of three-syllabled whistles. Kitulgala and Sinharaja are sites where there is a chance of seeing this bird.

The Ceylon Spurfowl is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

Possible noteworthy species: Ceylon Spurfowl, Ceylon Green Pigeon, Yellow-Fronted Barbet, Black-Capped Bulbul, Ceylon Hanging Parakeet, and more.

Ceylon Spurfowl just behind the lodge, although in the end only our guide saw them. The list goes on. Essentially, almost every possible Sinharaja speciality can be seen in the forest around the lodge, without even having to enter the park proper! Ceylon Spurfowl- One of the main reasons to go back. Ding Li and I were decidedly unhappy with our encounter with Sri Lanka's most difficult endemic. More
