    Often seen far away high in trees these birds are in my experience and that of others a real pain to get anything resembling a decent image of.

    Here is something reasonable I hope (still has a pesky leaf)

    I like this image -- crisp and well-framed in the bird's habitat (I seem to like habitat shots more than most).

    Hi Ken, I feel you have done well here. The roller is nicely in the open, and the colours really stand out against the leafy green foliage. Good pose too. I wish you had left a touch more room on the left.

    Thanks everybody for your comments.

    Stuart, I keep cropping too close, needless to say I have plenty more room.
