Lilac - Breasted Roller

The Lilac Breasted Roller (Coracias Caudata),is a heavy billed, beautifully coloured bird with a green head, lilac throat and breast, a blue belly and even brighter blue wing feathers. Both sexes have the same colouration.

The species is found throughout Eastern and Southern Africa. The birds live in open woodland and savannah country, bushy game lands, and areas with well spaced trees.

All rollers, including the lilac breasted rollers, are highly territorial. They are also thought to be monogamous

Hi Srikumar,

The branches are helping to frame the bird. You got good eye contact with it. The point of view is showing the details of the Lilac - Breasted Roller. The light is bringing out the colors. Have a nice day.

Hello Srikumar,
Amazing colorful specie. In Europe migrates the European Roller every summer but it is difficult to approach...
Very nice details and contrast. Excellent composition.
