Sri Lanka - Part III

The most harrowing part of our visit to

TEAR-DROP of INDIA
had to be the Train Ride around the Southern Coast of the Country
where the reality of the then 2 year old Tsunami hit us well below the belt!
Had all the donations, private and nationally, sent from every point of the compass not made any progress to the well being of these hapless people, to the untrained eye it seemed not!
Boats still left where they smashed against the rocks
ORANGE-BREASTED GREEN PIGEON
Punctuating the devestation with Wildlife to lighten the load.
JACKAL
Flimsy Shacks
SPOT-BILLED PELICAN
FISHERMEN
having to cast
and recover industrial size fishing gear by hand
"bet they were glad of my help??"
JERDON'S BUSHLARK
We will draw a line under the devistation there, continuing with more
WILDLIFE
INDIAN STRIPED PALM SQUIRREL
LAND MONITOR
LARGE-BILLED CROW
and finally
WILD BOAR
(but enough about me!)
