a Murder of Crows on the lawns of Mount Lavinia Hotel
…Elephant dung at Pinnawela
and crows & stray dogs benefiting from the fishermen’s beach seine (madal) catch at Negombo
…….. OR wild hogs begging for food from tourists leaving Yala National Park mid-morning
like that notorious fellow “Rambo” at Uda Walawe National Park
…… Whereas the elephants at Pinnawela are better trained
…… goats at Kirinde
…… kangaroos at Belair National Park
…. with Cockatoos as neighbours nearby
…. and Kookaburras in our back garden next door
Contrasting with a crested eagle snapped at Bundala National Park by Zac Ronald … and wrestling elephants captured by Dr Janaka Gallangoda somewhere in Lanka
SO — what a contrast these pictures betray when placed beside the ways of human beings at Mirissa
…. and at Yala … 
and finally let me conclude with two puzzles: what, pray, are these ‘creatures’?
