Is Udawalawe National Park good for birdwatching?

Yes, Udawalawe National Park is a solid place for birdwatching. The park has wetlands, open grass areas, scrub zones, and forest. These habitats hold many birds that live there and also birds that arrive with the seasons.

You might spot peafowl, bee-eaters, kingfishers, eagles, storks, herons, and other bird species. In the early hours, visibility is usually easier. Bring binoculars if you can. Also, it helps to use a guide who knows the local bird types so you can tell species apart more easily.
