Question 6

What is the best time of year for birdwatching at Anawilundawa?

October through February is the peak season, when migratory species from Central and South Asia supplement the resident waterbird population. Resident species including herons, kingfishers, and whistling ducks are present and active year-round.

Question 7

Do I need a guide to visit the Anawilundawa Wetland Sanctuary?

A guide is not strictly mandatory, but local naturalist guides familiar with the tank access paths and bird behaviour will greatly improve the experience, particularly for identifying shyer or less conspicuous species. Organised birdwatching tours are available from Colombo and Kalpitiya.
