I heard a small kerfuffle outside my work window. When I peeped out a red-headed mama was feeding her red-headed junior on our neighbour's coconut tree.
Sri Lanka red-backed woodpecker (Dinopium psarodes) — endemic.

Meet Mr. Drongo, the permanent resident there.
White-bellied drongo (Dicrurus caerulescens)
A Loten's sunbird (Cinnyris lotenius) visits daily these day
Mrs. Loten's is close by, probably nesting or getting ready to.
A white-browed bulbul (Pycnonotus luteolus) stops by now and then on the way somewhere.
Oriental magpie-robin (Copsychus saularis) is a common visiter too. There was a pair on the mango tree the other day.
My friend Mr. Drongo's friends stop over at the favourite spot, or shall we say #hotspot...

Looking cool in red stockings 😎

A lone Spot Billed Pelican (Pelecanus philippensis) looking for its next meal in a pond on Medin Poya day. Rather curious fellow, swam close to check us out. Sweet…🦢

A brown-headed barbet (Psilopogon zeylanicus) checking out the guava.
One of my favourite garden birds. Their call reminds me of the country-side.
A barbet a day keeps da doctor away! Any bird would :-) 🦜🦤🪿🦆🐦⬛🦉🦅

A spark of color on a gloomy Monday morning. The Brown-headed barbet (Psilopogon zeylanicus) is always a treat to see.
