Lindude vaatlemine Jaffna lagoonil

Set out across Jaffna Lagoon on this private three-hour birdwatching session, where extensive mudflats, seagrass beds and scattered mangroves create a rich feeding ground for water birds. Scan the shallows for American flamingos wading in formation, watch ducks drift between the grass beds, and track gulls and terns overhead as shorebirds pick through the mud at the water's edge. During the migrant season, the lagoon and Kayts Causeway become a hotspot for Lesser Sand Plovers, Little Stints, Black-tailed Godwits and Marsh Sandpipers feeding in large numbers along the shoreline. Your knowledgeable guide provides commentary throughout, pointing out species and behaviour that are easy to miss without a trained eye. This is a private activity, so the pace and focus are yours to shape in conversation with your guide. Wear comfortable clothing and hardy shoes suitable for muddy ground, and bring a wide-brimmed hat for the sun. Children aged five and above are welcome. Gratuities and food and drink are not included, so carry water and any snacks you need for the session.
