I got the opportunity to lead the Fiona Read’s Sri Lanka Tour. Fiona has written and/or illustrated numerous mammal guides to northern and south America. I personally think it is a privilege to lead a mammal tour with Fiona. It was a 13 day tour with main focus on mammals. But the group consist of members who interest on birds, reptiles, amphibians, butterflies,dragonflies and also plants. At the end of the tour our mammal list was 61 species which was a new record for me. Our bird list was 211, 14 species of amphibians and 24 species of reptiles as well.
