2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

Bird - Lilac breasted Roller, Masai Mara, Kenya
Lilac-breasted Roller

Species: Bird - Lilac breasted Roller | Location: Masai Mara, Kenya

The Lilac breasted Roller is my favorite bird. I must stop every time I see one! Needless to say, I have many roller images. This roller is the most beautiful and colorful I have ever seen. He also happened to be in perfect light! We waited and waited for him to fly so we could get an image of those gorgeous wings, but he was content to perch and soak in the sun.
