Lilac-breasted Roller found in the Kruger Park. They are quite difficult to get a good pic of, as they mostly sit high up in the trees and are very shy, so when appoached, they usually fly away. This beauty was willing to take the chance and let me shoot him.. with my camera of cos!!

This bird actually looks painted onto that perfect sky which displays the vibrant birdie colors. Nice capture!

I am glad you shot him with your camera instead of your rifle Marietha. What a great shot and you stalked him long enough to share this beauty with us.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.

---they usually fly away---

Strange, isn't it, Marietha, lol.

Thanks for this perfect post, and thanks to the 'roller' as well because it didn't what it was accustomed to do.

Regards, Cornelius.

A great portrait of this very nice bird, but if I can give you my opinion, it should be better if you took your image at the horizontal, leaving place to the bird's look. Another thing, be careful of your lens, there are some dust.
