These African rollers are real gems. I am always fascinated to see them sitting on a bush by the side of the road, hunting for insects, lizards and supposedly small birds (which I haven't seen).

LEO Power Up Day - November 15, 2023

the photo of a bird in flight doesn't want to take a photo, it's really really cool, really like it

Wow, what a stunning view of the blue sky decorated with charming birds. Apart from Africa, Indonesia has never seen this species.

This species lives i Africa only.

I have never seen this species my friend, thank you for sharing all these different species with us. Good photo, did you have a hard time taking this one? I guess it's not easy to shoot a bird in flight.

With digital camera you can afford many shot. I remember times I had 36 expensive color Fujifilm slides in my camera 😅

So does that mean that you're taking multiple shots and you're selecting from them? Sorry for being a photography noob 😅

If bird is flying I just press trigger and make 5 frames per second.

Thanks, I'll try that with my phone for now :)

Wow, this is a very perfect catch.
