When is bird migration season in Udawalawe?

The main bird migration season in Udawalawe goes from November to April, and it lines up with the winter season in the Northern Hemisphere.

During this time, the park’s usual feathered residents get a boost, with thousands of migratory birds leaving behind the colder conditions in Europe, Siberia, and Central Asia. The Udawalawe Reservoir and the nearby marshlands turn into a lively gathering place for passing waders, waterfowl, and travelling raptors, making the park a first-rate stop for worldwide ornithologists.
