Jimmy, thank you for your response.
Our itinerary was suggested by the tour company to meet our target to see as many bird species as possible, in particular, the endemics. And we end up with a record of 228 bird species, including 32 endemics in this 2-week trip. Of course I just managed to photo a fraction of this no. of species. We enjoyed this trip very much and I absolutely agree that Sri Lanka is a good country for birding, for both novice and experienced birders.
At Sinharaja, we stayed at Rock View Motel for 3 days as well (13-15 Feb). At Bundala, it's unlucky for your jeep to stall in mud for such long hours. Actually we saw a no. of waterbirds there, among them the Lesser Adjutant & Glossy Ibis were the most impressive. We also met a pair of Indian Golden Jackals at dusk there. Here is a photo :
