@ Kumana Sanctuary, First time seen by us in the vehicle and by the Tracker who had over 8 years Experience.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Kumana NP, Sri Lanka. A pair of Green Bee-eaters were on the branch, with no trouble to anyone other than the insects, with no provocation, a winter plumage male Purple Sunbird (much smaller than the Bee-eaters) started tugging & pulling on the rectrices or tail feathers of the Bee-eater. The bigger birds ignored this intrusion but finally when the Sunbird would not stop turned and chased him away... Why did this happen? Kasun our tracker claims that he has not seen this before and neither had us.
