Description

A few days ago Rob uploaded an image of a blue bellied roller (Coracias cyanogaster) that he photographed at the London zoo and for the first time ever I was able to identify something... LOL... Rob - this one is for you - your roller's South African cousin!!! Thank you for popping in and for your great support in comments and favs on my previous upload! Stay well! Hugs Carin xx

OMG, if it weren't for the colours I would consider this little avian a miniature bald eagle. Cool photo of a bird I'd never heard of or had seen before prior to Rob's posting, Carin.

How fascinating! Birds are so different everywhere, and this is astonishing. So drab up top, and so brilliant underneath, and the head seems to be from quite a different sort of bird altogether. You know, that odd coloring can be camo, although I don't know if that's the case with this one. Looking down on the bird from above, it would blend in with the landscape. Looking up at it from below, it would blend with your brilliant South African sky. Interesting to think about, isn't it? Great capture!

AW! That is a strange looking bird, though very beautiful. It seeme like its head is way too big for its body and I could imagine it tilting forward while flying lol ! Such an excellent capture Carin :-)
