Wildlife: Honorable Mention 2022 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Wilpattu National park is the biggest national park in Sri Lanka. It was a full day game drive and spotted this leopard early morning on the side of the road. However, we were unable to take some pictures. After a while when we were directed towards the exit, I just turned to see if there was any likelihood of capturing this animal and guess what!!! It was right there sitting by the side of the road. In a while it took its walk towards the Viradhana Vila (name of the pond) and started drinking from the still waters of the pond.
AUTHOR
I'm Avanka Fernando a professional in the field of Education in Sri Lanka. Wildlife photography is my favorite hobby which I really enjoy. I have been involved in wildlife photography for the past 9-10 years but I was able to invest more time and commitment from around 2016 onwards. Over the past years, I have travelled to many parts of the country including National Parks, Wetlands & other places to capture the fascinating flora & fauna. My objective is to give a different experience of nature and wildlife to all my viewers through photography and create awareness to promote nature conservation.
