Lilac Breasted Roller

Species: Lilac Breasted Roller | Location: Linyanti Region, Botswana

By Mark Schwartz

The lilac breasted roller is one of the most beautiful birds I've ever seen. The colors are almost cartoonish. And, when we found them in Botswana, they did not seem spooked by our presence and sat nicely for a portrait.  This photo was taken while on a trip to Botswana with Nat Hab.

About The Photographer

Nature Photo Enthusiast. I love wildlife photography, particularly birds. I also enjoy landscapes, and people photography. I use Canon gear, but am considering a switch to a smaller format...maybe a mirrorless system
