    Default Lilac-Breasted Roller with attitude

    Here is a photo from my latest trip to Southern Africa. I guess I should have posted it a few days earlier to make it for the back lit project of October.

    Now that is a mean and ugly pose, from a beautiful bird.

    Lorant, he certainly gave you a very inquisitive look. Love the raised crest, and well done on getting the colour natural.

    This is one of my favorite birds and I just love the expression you've captured!

    Love the grumpy look brother. You captured it perfectly. The only slightly distracting thing is what I think the perch poking out in the LLC. Otherwise a priceless look man. :)
