My FAVORITE african Bird

The only thing better than one Lilac Breasted Roller is getting two together. Of the over 400 varieties of birds to be photographed in East Africa the Lilac Breatsed Roller is my favourite.

This opportunity arose in Tsavo West one of the oldest National Parks in Kenya.  Its fallen in popularity for the average tourist as MUCH OF  the TERRAIN is rugged and spotting game can be  difficult. However the lack of people and the nature of the terrain rewards the avid PHOTOGRAPHER.

The light and angles due to the hilly nature can give OPPORTUNITIES to ACHIEVE photos not possible on other more accessible National Parks
