My propery is close to two National Parks, where there are over 100 elephants on the Tank (Lake) bed everyday at this time of year, now made famous with what is called the gathering of elephants. There were two large herds in each of the Parks last week, when I visited Kaudulla National Park on Wednesday the 8th and Minneriya National Park on Thursday the 9th when these photos were taken.
