In November we explored the island of Sri Lanka. For ten days we did a tour with a combination of wildlife and cultural places. Many of those cultural places are UNESCO world heritage sites such as the Sigiriya Lion Rock, the ancient city of Polonnaruwa, and Dambulla Cave temple. The wildlife was very interesting with many nice mammals and birds. The highlight was the Serendib Scops Owl, a species that was found as late as 2001.
