Dragan]: What puts Philip Briggs’s SriLanka into a class of its own is a special emphasis on nature and wildlife-watching tourism. This is the title for the person who lives for both literature and nature.
Some of those “statistical errors” came as surprises to me, e.g. Cuba, Bolivia, Uganda, SriLanka, Thailand (this is also a clear message to their tourism boards to invest more into promoting avitourism). Africa is a huge continent with varied landscapes and rich biodiversity. In general, birders do not know what Africa offers.
And in India, when Strycker tied the previous one-year record, his guides Sanu and Harsha took a fair amount of trouble to make sure that a special bird, the SriLanka Frogmouth (“nocturnal and not easy to see!”) was available as the record-breaker, (#4342). More poignant is the story of another guide, Hugo Enriquez.
The chapter on SriLanka, where Gooddie combines a vacation with his girlfriend, largely invisible elsewhere in the book, with his search for Indian Pitta, is to my taste one of the best parts of the book. That comment jumped out at me with an almost electric shock.
So, beside a lot of birds and the sunny sky, I want the coldest thing to experience year-round to be my beer. SriLanka (375 / 436). While I do enjoy the first snow of the season, the second snow is a different matter. As is every one after it. Out of almost 200 countries of the World, more than 100 are in the tropics.
Recent studies in SriLanka have revealed that, upon sighting a predator, a drongo will imitate the alarm calls of at least 4 other bird species (babblers, laughing thrushes, bulbuls, and others), as well as the call given by the specific predator, i.e. a giant squirrel or eagle. My cats refuse to even try Fiery Minivets.
SriLanka is a ‘must visit country’ for any keen birder. Still, I was thinking and re-thinking: should I write about the SriLanka travel guide now, when that country is in an economic tailspin and even its Prime Minister says the economy has “completely collapsed”? Where to look for the birds?
