Legge's Hawk-Eagle/මහ කොණ්ඩරාජාලියා/හෙල් කොණ්ඩකුස්සා [Maha Kondarajaaliya/Hel Kondakussa] (Nisaetus kelaarti)

A rather rare breeding resident found in forested areas from the foothills to the higher hills. It lives either solitarily or in pairs and feeds on rats, hares, fowls, and lizards. The breeding season lasts from December to March. The nest, a large mass of sticks lined with green leaves, is built high in a tall tree within dense forest. It lays a single egg.
