the park is the ‘Kumana Villu' - a 200 hectare natural
swamp lake, fed by the ‘Kumbukkan Oya' through a half
mile long narrow channel. It is at this mangrove swamp
that many water birds nest in May and June. Regular
sightings include such species of bird as pelicans,
painted storks, spoonbills, white ibis, herons, egrets
and little cormorants.
