Lilac-Breasted Roller

Coracias caudatus

The colorful lilac-breasted roller, perched on a dead branch, waiting for one unlucky grasshopper to pass by. Then, it's time to impress the ladies with one of those wild rolling dives. Swipe to the last frame for the same rainbow birdy, now covered in dust after face-planting to get dinner 🦎🦗.
