I'm going on a whale watching trip from Colombo to Trincomalee for a week from 22nd April. Naturally I want to do some birding too and will go to the highlands. A couple of points I would appreciate some advice on:
1. Is there any advantage in doing the land-based birding before the trip as against after it? Essentially is there any chance any of the migrants like Pied Thrush and Indian Pitta will still be around? Or should I forget about them?
2. Are there any pelagic birds that I should look out for on the whale watching trip? Migrants from the Southern Ocean perhaps?
Thanks.
