Birds of Sri Lanka (MP3 sound & image collection)
Deepal Warakagode & Uditha Hettige
Each recording has been made in the natural habitat of the bird in Sri Lanka. For some species more than one type of sound is presented (and a number preceding the English name of the species indicates how many types of sounds are included).
This MP3-CD can be played on any computer (PC or Mac) and MP3-player, but is best played on an iPod or iPhone. Each species' picture shows up when the sound is played on your iPod, iPhone or iTouch, along with extra information about the recording.
On the disc you will find a lot of extra's like a species list (in PDF format) with 224 beautiful photographs and descriptions of the recording locations.
We expect that this publication will be useful for visiting birders to Sri Lanka to recognise most of the bird sounds they hear in the field during their stay. Sri Lanka is a tropical island just south of Peninsular India, in the Indian Ocean. It is one of the best biodiversity hotspots in South Asia. 3.3 hours.
