Wirawila Tissa Sanctuary, Sri Lanka.
Yesterday.
Passenger, not driver.

More famously known for its birdlife but also home to elephant.

Indeed, Richard - on both counts!

We slowed gently to a quiet crawl and drove past at constant speed in an appropriate gear to accelerate quickly if we needed to.

For the second time in a few days, an animal had the hairs on the back of my neck prickled.
I'll now post what the first time was - also appropriate to this thread!

Kumana National Park, Sri Lanka
29th December, 2021

With the sun already setting and local law stating that national parks must be exited by sunset itself, we rounded a corner and found our passage blocked. It was clear that we were going to be late.

The same leopard as above when, eventually, it deigned to move and let us through. By now it was getting properly dark so my 5D IV with 70-200 f/2.8 already mounted on the off chance of low light photography came in to play. I still needed high ISO though.
