Lilac Breasted Roller - a photo on Flickriver

            Lilac Breasted Roller (Coracias caudatus), Khwai river, Okavango delta, Botswana, april 2022. Species has ranges more or less continuously throughout eastern and southern Africa from the Red Sea coasts of Ethiopia and northwest Somalia to the Angola coast and northern South Africa. It prefers open woodland and savanna, and it is for the most part absent from treeless places. Usually found alone or in pairs, it perches conspicuously at the tops of trees, poles or other high vantage points from where it can spot insects, lizards, scorpions, snails, small birds and rodents moving about on the ground. The sexes are different in coloration, and juveniles lack the long tail streamers of adults. The IUCN Red List and other sources don’t provide the number of the Lilac-breasted roller total population size. Currently, this species is classified as Least Concern (LC) on the IUCN Red List and its numbers today remain stable.
