An isolated population of jungle bush quails is found in Gal Oya National Park, particularly around the Nilgala area. These birds live in small flocks, primarily inhabiting savannas and grasslands, where they prefer walking over flying. The savanna-like landscape, shaped by frequent wildfires, provides an ideal habitat for them. Despite several visits to Nilgala, I struggled to capture satisfactory photographs of these elusive birds due to their shy nature and the challenging terrain. However, on my most recent trip, I managed to capture a few good shots of them, marking a rewarding end to my efforts.
