Profile:
He got hooked on birds in 1989 after a school project in St Peter’s College, and made his first trip to Sinharaja the following year with a group of schoolmates, which earned him his first glimpses of the rare birding jewels & a host of birdie nicknames. He joined YZA, a local nature club, at an early age which was the beginning of the road to turn him into an all-round naturalist. Amila is a certified ‘national-guide’ under Sri Lanka Tourist Board. Before turning a full time naturalist guide, he was a Manager of a Wildlife tour company. He holds memberships in several local as well as overseas bird clubs and contributes articles to their ornithological publications. Whether it is a serious birding holiday focused on the Sri Lanka’s 33-plus endemics, sub-continental specialties & migrants or a birding holiday that also incorporate other forms of natural history be it mammals, butterflies, dragonflies, botany, reptiles etc., or a mixed interest tour that combine birds with culture or sport etc., Amila will tailor the perfect holiday for you and will personally lead them ensuring maximum enjoyment. Apart from birding, Amila enjoys thrashing his clients in Scrabble.
