LBR - Somethin' stuck in me throat, it seems . . .

[Callie]

Lilac-breasted Roller, Coracias caudatus, Gewone Troupant, Gabelracke, Rolieiro-de-peito-lilás, Rollier à longs brins, Vorkstaartscharrelaar, Kruger NP
One of five roller species found in the Southern Africa region. The colours of this common bushveld bird is off the charts but what a wonderful composition of colours juxtaposed in one bird!
This one was probably regurgitation some indigestible insect parts. Something also seems to have hooked a breast feather out of place.
D500; 500 PF; F/7.1; 1/1600; ISO 280, +1.3 EV and it was still underexposed.
