Deraniyagala is a small town in the Kegalle district in the Sabaragamuwa Province of Sri Lanka. It was a sunny day. I started the walk early in the morning. I couldn't count a step. A Group of Scarlet Minivet were in my garden. So I couldn't miss that great opportunity. It was like blessing and good sign for my trekking.
The hole trekking was about 5km.
Here are the birds that I could get on my camera.
