These little bug-eaters are fairly common in Botswana. Yet, while they dress for the party they don't like to dance. They are notorious for out-waiting a photographer who wants to catch them flying.

This little guy was being upstaged by two leopards who had the attention of all the cameras. But, there was a little pile of some kind of dung below his perch and he repeatedly flew down to grab flies which were either eating or hatching from the manure. I caught his flash of colors out of the corner of my eye and got our guide to move for better light.

What great captures. Can't make up my mind on which I like best, the BIF or the one of it eating a fly. It was worth your wait.

Very nice series. The roller was one of my favorites when I toured in South Africa. But, I must admit your series is better than mine, congratulations!
