Avinka the animal whisperer
Avinka – or Avi as his feathered and non-feathered friends like to call him – joined the Eco Team Family in 2016 and fast became a travelling Naturalist highly conversant in Sinhala, English, Elephant, Leopard, Grey Langur, Crested Hawk-eagle, Giant Squirrel, Wild Buffalo, Hornbill, Peacock, and Indian Nightjar! Being one of the quirkiest members of the Eco Team Family, his stories can range from being casually attacked by a 35 year old elephant, to why papadams (fried lentil discs) are the greatest things on earth.
