I hadn't heard of Rollers before. Wow, such amazing colors. #2 is my favorite, I love how it's cocking it's head as it looks at you like it's thinking "are you done yet"?

Wow Kevin you have done it again, beautiful bird shots, crystal clear and amazing detail. How do you do those type of shots, they almost look like studio setups.

Thank you Larry. These were driving around Kruger National Park early in the morning while all the birds are warming up, so just right place right time.

Beautiful, Kevin.
