Birds Of Tissamaharama
Discover the breathtaking birdlife of Sri Lanka with Birds of Tissamaharama, your trusted local birdwatching experts. Nestled in the heart of the southern wetlands, we offer guided birdwatching tours through lush paddy fields, ancient reservoirs, and the vibrant ecosystems surrounding Tissamaharama.

Home to over 80 resident bird species, including some species of endemic birds, and many seasonal migratory visitors, this region is a haven for bird lovers and photographers alike. From the elusive Cinnamon Bittern and striking Crimson-backed Flameback to majestic eagles and colourful kingfishers, every tour is an opportunity to witness nature’s wonders up close.

We offer both day and night tours, giving you the rare chance to observe a variety of diurnal and nocturnal birds in their natural habitats. Our night tours are especially popular for spotting Sri Lanka’s fascinating nocturnal birds, particularly several species of owls and nightjars, which are often difficult to see elsewhere. These mysterious, rarely-seen creatures offer a magical experience under the cover of darkness.

Led by experienced local guides with deep knowledge of the area's avifauna, our tours cater to both beginners and seasoned birders. Whether you're looking for a peaceful morning walk or a focused bird photography session, we tailor each experience to your interests.

Join Birds of Tissamaharama and let the songs of the wild lead you into the soul of Sri Lanka’s birdlife day or night.
