I took this picture of a Purple Roller close to Afsaal picnic spot. Both these pictures are of the same bird, but from different angles.

Saw several of these lovely birds in KNP earlier this month. Are they increasing in numbers or just more noticeable in the absence of the Europeans?

Great pic leeukos.

I prefer this bird to his more common and striking cousin, the LBR.
