The Pepper Cottage is an ideal place for bird watching. One can easily spot a variety of different birds around the area, especially in the early morning hours. We discovered around 30 different species of which some are endemic. For instance: the Sri Lankan (SL) Yellow-fronted Barbet,  SL Grey Hornbill,  Ceylon Wood Pigeon, Orange minivet, Black-hooded oriole, Common kingfisher, Chestnut Bee-eater, Red vented bulbul, Southern Coucal, Black Eagle.
