good shots Alan. must have been pretty close to the roller as the focal
length used is 250mm?

Thanks Dan, Larry & Subash.

+/- 6m, Subash. About 50% crops. Shot through the open passenger side 
window. LB Rollers are quite tolerant of cars, European Rollers less so.

Thanks, Ann. Yes, they are. This Roller is endemic. In summer they are
outnumbered by the migratory European Rollers which look very similar but
without the Lilac. Some people call them Blue Jays.
I suppose Spring is in the air over there? At last it's starting to cool
down a bit in the Lowveld - thank goodness. Last week we had 84mm rain out
of nowhere.
