This was the first Green Vine Snake (Ahaetulla nasuta) we had encountered in the Sinharaja Forest Reserve, Sri Lanka. I was very excited, but later we found many more. All of them still got me excited! Feel free to follow me on Instagram :) #wildlife #ph

This young Sri Lankan Elephant (Elephas maximus maximus) looks a bit sad in the rain. It had been very dry before and most elephants in Udawalawa National Park were taking mudbaths. Probably just a lot of water in the eyes. Feel free to follow me on Inst

One of the species I really wanted to see in Sri Lanka was the Rhino-horned Lizard (Ceratophora stoddartii). On Horton Plains National Park we looked for this beautiful lizard. Yara found this female. We looked on this location for a male (with horn) with

Indian Palm Squirrels (Funambulus palmarum) are very good at climbing trees like most squirrels. When a female is not able to climb the tree on her own, some of the male squirrels help her to get in the tree by pushing her. It took a lot of pushes before

This male Sri Lankan Elephant (Elephas maximus maximus) was the first elephant we saw in Udawalawa National Park. The elephant was a bit too close for my 300mm F4 IS USM L. I decided to make a close-up. Feel free to follow me on Instagram! :) #wildlifeph

To photograph this beautiful Black-spectacled Toad (Duttaphrynus melanostictus) I had to feed myself to the leeches. It was worth the suffering. :) Feel free to follow me on Instagram :) #wildlife #photography #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #natu

The guides got me excited, and then fooled by saying: "Chameleon, chameleon, chameleon!". In most Asian countries they call agamas "chameleon". That is confusing, because there is a real chameleon in Sri Lanka. However this is an Oriental Garden Lizard (

While driving in the heavy rain in Udawalawa this Toque Macaque (Macaca sinica) got a smile on my face. The monkey was hiding for the rain and showed some funny faces while looking at the rain. Feel free to follow me on Instagram! :) #wildlifephotography

The Sri Lankan Kangaroo Lizard (Otocryptis wiegmanni) is definitely the most common reptile in the rainforests of the wet southwest region of Sri Lanka. Common does not mean boring, because I think they are absolutely beautiful with their slender body and

Baby lizards are cute with their small bodies and big eyes. We found this baby Common Green Forest Lizard (Calotes calotes) behind our lodge at night. Cute isn't he? Feel free to follow me on Instagram :) #wildlife #photography #wildlifephotography #natu

We had arranged two safaris in Yala National Park. One was a normal full day safari and the other was a special leopard safari on the next day. Ofcourse we did not expect to see a Sri Lankan Leopard (Panthera pardus kotiya) in one hour on the first day.

Before visiting Sri Lanka I had a short list of species I really wanted to see and photograph. The Sri Lankan Pit Viper (Trimeresurus trigonocephalus) was definitely one of them. The snake was found above a small stream inside the Sinharaja Forest Reserve
