The lilac-breasted roller (Coracias caudatus) is an African bird of the roller family, Coraciidae. It is widely distributed in Southern and Eastern Africa, and is a vagrant to the southern Arabian Peninsula.[1] It prefers open woodland and savanna, and it is for the most part absent from treeless places. Usually found alone or in pairs, it perches at the tops of trees, poles or other high vantage points from where it can spot insects, amphibians and small birds moving about on the ground.[2] Nesting takes place in a natural hole in a tree where a clutch of 2–4 eggs are laid, and incubated by both parents, who are extremely aggressive in defence of their nest, taking on raptors and other birds. During the breeding season the male will rise to a fair height (69 to 144 metres), descending in swoops and dives,[3] while uttering harsh, discordant cries. The sexes do not differ in coloration, and juveniles lack the long tail streamers of adults.

Thank you for your visit, most appreciated!
It's lilac blooming time! I'm always delighted by these breathtaking, infinite shades of purple. This one is my from local neighborhood, I think Spy Pond.
Happy Sunday all!
One of my favorite species of birds from Etosha is the Lilac ?Breasted Roller. That are so vibrant in color and such an interesting bird to watch as it goes about finding insects to eat. They are beautiful to see in flight revealing all their many colors and you never tire of seeing just one more.
Wishing you a beautiful and blessed Sunday !!!!!!!
