Was out in the area, not really planning on taking photos, thought I might get a decent sky so I stopped by and tried a quick one. Didn't really work out how I hoped it would!

While we were on the lookout for more wildlife on one of our game drives, our jeep came across this lilac-breasted roller high in a dead tree. It was amazing, unlike ofher rollers who fly away almost as soon as you see them, this one did not want to leave. The bird kept on looking all around, preening, and plain sitting. Just when we wanted it to fly off so we could photograph it in flight, it continued to stay around. Finally, after about ten minutes it decided to makes its move. I did manage to get a shot of the roller in flight which I will upload later.

My first shot of a European Roller since they arrived from Europe for their summer visit to South Africa.
Photo taken in Orlando. You should look at the image LARGE on BLACK and check if you know someone, the clarity of each person is remarkable!
Monds Roller Mill.
Built in 1824 by Tasmanian miller Thomas Monds this imposing stone building operated as a mill until 1924.
For almost the entire time of its operation the mill was operated by Thomas Mond and his family consortium.
At the time of its demise the mill was the last water powered flour mill operating in Tasmania.
In the intervening years the mill has undergone many and varied business ventures.
Today it is empty and awaiting to be re-invented into another venture.

We were so busy photographing a lion that I almost missed this roller sitting right in front of us. Now wouldn't that have been a loss. Shot in the warm evening light.

Just returned from a wonderful trip to South Africa where I had the absolute pleasure of guiding the photographical game-drives for a group of very special people at Marataba Game Reserve in South Africa.
Those of you that know me a bit longer here on Flickr, know that I simply can't resist a Lilac Breasted Roller. Especially not when it flies against the backdrop of the beautiful Waterberg Mountains..
So there's rock, and a Roller..

Was looking for Clawdeen. Bought a couple other monster high items as well. I was going to slow down. Oh well, I'll slow down next time. ;)

Indian Roller is a common breeding resident in dry lowlands up to lower hills, while uncommon and local in wet lowlands. It is common mostly in coconut plantations, chena cultivation and such open areas, usually as solitary birds or in pairs. It is known as Dumbonna among Sinhalese people meaning Smoke-drinker since it has a habit of flying over the grass and shrub fires usually when burning jungles for chena cultivation to catch grasshoppers, beetles and other flying insects disturbed by the fire. Indian Roller spend much of its time sitting on a telegraph wires, fence posts or any such vantage points and flying down to catch its prey, which consists of grasshoppers, beetles, lizards and such little animals. It breeds from January to June laying 2-4 white eggs in a tree hole of a dead tree or in a rotten palm trunk. - Bushana Kalhara biodiversityofsrilanka.blogspot.com/
