Waiting for Lift-off!

Lilac-breasted Roller in Flight 

One of my seriously needed birds showed up for us in a

big way in Tanzania, during our latest visit in 

October 2011.  This is one of the most beautiful 

birds in the world, with spectacular colours.

We had several perched in short trees along the road 

while moving throughout Tarangire National Park.

Perched shots were fun, but the flight shot was the 

frame I was looking for!  Unfortunately my best 

shot was this one with the wings clipped, so I made

something out of nothing here!

As they say, "next time"!
