Uditha Hettige

Deepal Warakadoda is Sri Lanka's leading ornithologist. A tour leader, photographer and conservationist, Deepal made his name with his stunning 22 discovery of the Serendib Scops Owl in Sri Lanka's Sinharaja Forest, a species completely new to science - the holy grail for any birdwatcher. Uditha Hettige is a tour leader and photographer, also based in Colombo, and Himesha Warakagoda is a biologist and author. All three have a deep understanding of the birds of Sri Lanka, and a passion for their conservation.
