Ketupa zeylonensis
Large owl with pale buff coloured feathers on the front. The face is darker.
Spotted high up on a very tall tree in Chintamani Kar Bird Sanctuary a small area, once known as Kayaler Bagan or Kayal's Garden.
Syn: Bubo zeylonensis A lifer for me.

Thanks, Neil.
Now that is a handsome owl. Beautiful spotting, Sukanya. I'd be over the moon too!
Thanks, Mark...I was pretty much over the moon..this one and a nightjar too (snap coming soon).
Fantastic bird. What a great thing to see. Well done.
