For good reason, the lilac-breasted roller is one of the most photographed birds in Eastern Africa. A stunningly colourful bird that I wanted to try to photograph in mid-flight. The hardest part was predicting the flight path, but with a bit of luck and a couple of attempts I came away with a few keepers.

Fantastic photo Owen, I was never fast enough to take one like this. Thank you for sharing, they are beautiful birds and so colourful.
Thanks for your kind comments. It’s taken lots of trial and error and a bit of luck to get my bird in flight photos.
