stuny Posted March 10, 2011 Share #1 Â Posted March 10, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) In the cultural triangle of Sri Lanka, amid the ancient capitals I saw these small birds feeding in the early morning mist. Any idea what species they are? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyp Posted March 10, 2011 Share #2 Â Posted March 10, 2011 No idea what kind of bird they are, but they are sure pretty, love the coloration on their breasts. Maybe Doug H. will see and identify. Thanks for sharing ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
