Another one I've not posted before, a Lilac breasted Roller, from Lower Zambezi, Zambia.

Please click for better view.

The ragged perch is the result of elephants ripping the branches off to eat!

Gorgeous image, Carol. Love the vivid color on the bird which is set off beautifully by the clean background. Excellent work.
