Chilaw Sand-spits, Anawilundawa & Nawadankulama

හලාවත වෑලිපර, ආනවිලුන්දාව සහ නවදන්කුලම වෑව.
A group of Haritha Diyatha members and friends went on a one-day Birding tour to the Chilaw sand-spits, Anawilundawa wetlands & the Nawadankulama tank (wewa). The sea levels were a bit too high on the day, to walk over to the edge of the sand-spits. Tanks such as Maiyawa, Suruwila, Anawilundawa, Pinkattiya & Maradansole that belong to the 'Anawilundawa Ramsar Wetland' were observed. Many Butterflies & Dragonflies were too recorded at Anawilundawa. The Nawadankulama tank was visited in the evening.
