Botswana 2014

Lilac-breasted roller..... very common, but frustratingly hard to photograph. We actually got to see how they came to be named "rollers". The courtship ritual is amazing.... the males fly so high they're barely visible, then dive straight down and roll in big sweeping arcs, then do it all again.
