රත්-මූනත් කොට්ටෝරුවා/Sri Lankan small barbet/Crimson-fronted Barbet(Psilopogon rubricapillus)
2024 March @Diyasaru Park, Battaramulla
The first observation is at Thalangama Lake. It is endemic to Sri Lanka. Small, green barbet with a red forehead, light orange markings around the eye, blue sides to the face, and unstreaked belly. Usually located by incessant calls, given from the treetops. Occurs in open wooded areas, gardens, forests and forest edges in the lowlands and foothills, where typically encountered as singles or pairs. Most abundant in the wet zone, but occurs locally in the dry zone.
Endemic
Conservation status - Least Concern
