Lilac breasted roller

Coracias caudatus

Description:

A nesting pair of lilac breasted rollers appear to be searching for the ideal place for a nest. They prefer open woodland areas, as they hunt from an exposed perch. A bit of grass is clearly visible in the beak of the brightest bird in photo 2
