Lilac-breasted Roller, Coracias caudatus

[KevinA]

Although the Eurasian Roller, Coracias garrulus is a beautiful bird, I personally think it's close relative, the Lilac-breasted Roller, Coracias caudatus is a more visually stunning bird. Seen in sub-Saharan Africa and relatively common, it's still a pleasure to see and photograph.
