Birds Lilac-breasted Roller swoops low, looking for insects in the fire...

Lilac-breasted Rollers are carnivorous, and when ever we see a bush fire, we know that there will be plenty of birds hungrily attending, in the hopes of scooping up insects flushed out of their hiding places by the flames...

Tim, this is a great capture - you might wanna consider sticking it in the wildlife forum - Birds sub forum for more like minded people to see.

Amazing looking birds. We seem to paint all our birds in a drab colour!

We have lots of awesome birds here in Africa... Especially when they wear their "party clothes" aka: Breeding colours in Spring / Summer....
