THE NESTING SWAMPPhoto by AntanO on Wikimedia CommonsOver 200 recorded bird species nest around one swamp — with a fraction of the vehicles that cross Yala Block 1.
A national park of lagoons and mangrove swamps on the island's southeast corner, contiguous with Yala and established in 1938 as Yala East. The Kumana villu nesting swamp draws large waterbird colonies in May and June.
