From first light, when the noisy cackle of the Malabar Grey Hornbill announces the start of the day, until dusk, when the Indian Pitta sounds its shrill whistle, days here are accompanied by the sounds of the forest, while at night its silence is disturbed by the calls of Oriental Scops Owl and Ceylon Frogmouth. Observed hiding in trees and caves for an escape from larger predators, it hunts on the ground and enjoys a predictable menu of rodents and birds. Sri Lanka Frogmouth. and that’s how I discovered the little cutie. It promotes health, well-being, and independence through recreation, creative and therapeutic activities, support services and information. Those of a Warm and Fuzzy Nature.

The ‘target species’ to use birding slang, for that evening, was the rarely seen and nocturnal Sri Lanka Frogmouth. The bulk of the Tawny Frogmouth's diet is made up of nocturnal insects, worms, slugs and snails. The COOJ Geriatric and Dementia Program was started with the goal of improving the quality of life of senior citizens. I photographed them at the Sinharaja 'world heritage' rain forest, when I guided Dave Thrussel and Chris Holtby from the UK, in March, 2010. You will soon be introduced to the commoner inhabitants of the forest and foothills. The Tawny Frogmouth can be seen in almost any habitat type (except the denser rainforests and treeless deserts), including heath, forest and woodlands, urban and rural areas.
