Purple Swamphens, Angunokolapalessa, Sri Lanka.

 I saw a flock of these Purple Swamphens in a wet paddy field adjoining the Angunokolapalessa - Ranna highway. They did not seem to be disturbed by the occasional fast moving vehicle.

I spotted a whole group of these birds in a paddy field at Rekawa near Tangalle, Sri Lanka.
