Are vultures found in Udawalawe National Park?

No, vultures are rarely seen in Udawalawe National Park, and they are not considered resident bird species anywhere across Sri Lanka.

In fact, Sri Lanka does not have a native vulture population. So instead of that, the scavenger niche around Udawalawe is handled mainly by other birds, for example, the Crested Serpent Eagle, White-bellied Sea Eagle, and several kinds of crows. People who visit for birdwatching in Udawalawe will usually come across lots of raptors and waterbirds, but they should not expect to spot vultures.
