Rockin Roller

There are birds that are just impossible to pass by! I have many pictures on my computer of Lilac breasted Rollers and they are relatively easy birds to photograph.
It's just another bird on a stick but the camera comes out every time!

Easy to see why. Don't have anything like that in my backyard.

Beautiful colors I have never seen this guy either.

They are great to grab especially when the sun is side lighting and I know what you mean about the urge to keep shooting them. Nice capture

Might be a bird on a stick ... but, certainly not just another bird. This Roller is gorgeous!

Dave, I see you have the same addiction, but they stay gorgeous, no matter how many you have in the bag! And that perch is a peach too!

Thanks Callie, I see your government has announced that the doors are opening on October 1st Perhaps my trip to the Kgalagadi in November will be on still!

Ja, Dave, we are still waiting. I hear it is certain countries. I think the overseas country must be open too, to allow flight. We are booked for next May . . . Hope you can make it!
