Lilac breasted roller
Regular readers of my blog (at least during my trip to Africa) know that my favorite African bird (so far) is the lilac breasted roller. I got some ok shots of them when I was in Namibia, but nothing that quite satisfied me. Field guides don’t usually capture a bird except anatomically and quasi-ecologically. I tripped across this photo of an LBR and it’s perfect. I love it. Maybe you can see why they’re my favorite.
He has some more which are great. Seriously, it’s hard to get more colorful without being garish. I totally want one.
