About the Author Gehan de Silva Wijeyeratne is one of Sri Lanka\'s most high profile wildlife personalities.
Throughout the book there are extracts from \'A Naturalist\'s Journal\' which in the form of a first person commentary take readers to specific habitats in search of the animals to be found there.
Further chapters detail wildlife watching opportunities for primates, birds, reptiles, turtles, butterflies and dragonflies; a description of the parks and reserves by habitat type; and a wildlife watching calendar to help plan a trip.
