Soar into the sun in those starry wings......
Having observed this rarity almost like a brief flash on a morning walkabout in my village near the wilderness of Wilpattu, I decided that I had to capture this enigmatic beauty because it proved to be more elusive than any mammals which I have pursued before.
This tiny wonder was resting out briefly before taking off in its echo located path through the air. I enjoyed the pride of its glistening wings and waited motionless until it started flying. Though it was a soft and short escape, I managed to catch the beauty of this marvel of nature at its best.
