For Alan/Rob’s #BirdOfTheDay theme of #NOP I have a #NandayParakeet party, an #Osprey flying off with a snack, and a #SpotBilledPelican showing off its spots in a close-up. Two of the three also qualify for the ALT of #LargeBirds. #birds #travel #SriLanka #WildlifePhotography #ECK

It's horrifying to think that 21km² of land in Sri Lanka remains to be cleared before the country can be declared landmine free. So many children still having their lives blighted by weapons placed years ago. @minesadvisorygroup.bsky.social

Ruchira Ranasingha, 50, has been stranded in the Cook Islands since 2023 and wants to return to Sri Lanka.

today's #BirdOfTheDay alt theme is: #LargeBirds any bird larger than a Pigeon. Gray-headed Fish-eagle (Haliaeetus ichthyaetus)... yala np.. sri lanka.

This manoeuvre seems common among fascisms and the object is truly fungible. In Sri Lanka, for example, it manifests as a "reverence" for Buddhism that requires suspending theory or practice: it's simply an image to be projected like a banner over the violence deployed ostensibly in its defence

I've been stuck on a tiny Pacific island for years and can't get a transit visa to fly home Ruchira Ranasingha, 50, has been stranded in the Cook Islands since 2023 and wants to return to Sri Lanka.

Vassa, the three-month monastic rains retreat, traditionally end on the full-moon day in October. Then starts kaṭhina, an ancient festival of generosity, community, and renewal that connects Buddhist laypeople and monastics through a tradition dating back to the Buddha’s lifetime. 🧵 🗃️ #Srilanka

Didn’t have the best sleep but feeling better today. Having some breakfast while listening to the ODI Tri Series final between Pakistan and Sri Lanka on BBC TMS. Got a few jobs to do today, but it’s otherwise quite gentle. Got Mystery Jukebox to look forward to as well.

Our friend the Kelaart's Dwarf Toad lives in the southwestern areas of Sri Lanka, in several different protected areas that are broken up by agricultural areas! They are known to be active at any time of day but are most easily found at night near streams! (photo by Shaveen Madushka)

Really like the Sri Lanka ODI kit.

It is so cool the winners making humane choices are a British gay man and a British man who's parents came from Sri Lanka. It's so wonderful and they show the best of who we are as a nation. And with such examples there remains hope we have not lost our identity, our collective national soul.

I mostly thought of India as anti-imperialist but now I'm seeing more of this kind of thing, claiming everything from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Afghanistan, Myanmar, and Tibet to be Indian lands. Akhand Bharat means "Undivided India" in Hindi.
