Purple Roller

Purple Roller (Coracias naevius) is a large roller compared to the more colorful and better known Lilac Breasted Roller. The Purple Roller's colors are visible when it flies. Leaving Namutoni, Etosha on our way to Windhoek, I waited a long time for it to fly but this specimen was content just perched atop this snag.
