Wild Life

Sri Lanka is one of the smallest but most biologically diverse countries in Asia. It’s varied climate and topographical conditions have given rise to this rich species diversity. Rosyth Estate House is no exception.

You will undoubtedly meet some of the other inhabitants of the Estate House during your stay but why not grab a pair of binoculars and a bird book and spend an afternoon or morning watching the countless variety of birds; from Sri Lankan Grey Hornbills to Crested Serpent Eagles; or catch a sight of the Langur Monkeys or White Spotted Deer that also call the Rosyth Estate House home. We have a list of the birds that you are most likely to see, some of which are migratory and are only with us November – April.

Our team will guide you to the best spots in our gardens and our estate to sit and be immersed in nature and birds – including our butterfly garden.

Guests can connect with the natural environment at Rosyth through a guided wildlife walk on the estate with our on site naturalist who is on hand to unlock the hidden natural world at the Estate House.

Supporting your well-being through birds and nature is something we strongly believe in at Rosyth. Ornitherapy, a practice of Mindful Birding, stimulates a healthier, more creative headspace through mindful observation while connecting you to the natural world surrounding you.
