 The University of Moratuwa is situated in close proximity to the Bolgoda Environmental Protection Area (EPA). Additionally, within the university grounds lies a natural terrestrial ecosystem commonly referred to as 'Kaju Kele.' This unique setting has established the University of Moratuwa as one of the urban universities in Sri Lanka with the highest diversity of bird species.
 \\\\
-The last study conducted on the bird diversity at the University of Moratuwa dates back almost 20 years, utilizing data collected from August 2003 to March 2005[1]. The present paper is based on more recent data, spanning from October 2021 to March 2024, collected by the two authors.

 \\\\
 The first volume of this series focuses on bird diversity, and upcoming volumes may explore other classes of flora \& fauna.

 \section{Data Collection Methodology}
-As mentioned above the data collection for this study occurred from October 2021 to March 2024. The process included random observations carried out consistently during this period, and certain nocturnal bird species were identified based on their distinctive calls. Starting from January 2024, a roundup of special observations was conducted, encompassing the entire university to ensure comprehensive documentation of all bird species.
