About this place
Tangalle sits on the southern coast of Sri Lanka, where gardens, village edges and patches of tropical woodland lie close together. The author logged six species here: the endangered Toque Macaque, Common and Black-rumped Flamebacks in the trees, Indian Peafowl, and garden birds such as the Oriental Magpie-Robin and Red-vented Bulbul. All sightings came over four days in August. Most were in the morning, between about 8 and 11, when the woodpeckers and garden birds were active. Peafowl turned up in the late afternoon, and the macaques were seen around midday and toward dusk. This is a virtual guide written by someone who has already watched wildlife in Tangalle, not a tour. You get the author's notes on each species, with timing and habitat details, and you can message the author with questions before or during your trip. Wildlife moves on its own schedule, so sightings are never guaranteed.Read more
