lilac

 

This colourful beauty is a lilac breasted roller.  They range from eastern Africa along the coast to northern South Africa.  They are not known to habitate near humans, which is a shame for us.

Probably they are lucky not to live close to humans! Beautiful bird, indeed.

Some ducks on my post.

The first is such a pretty stamp, and bird. It's like a tiny watercolor painting.
