We saw several Purple Rollers during our visit to Ethiopia this past August and while I don’t typically prefer an overcast white sky as a background, I thought this one worked for me. The colors were a bit muted on this species compared to other rollers that we encountered but I thought they showed up quite nicely in this image. It’s a bit difficult to gauge in this photo but this bird is pretty large and definitely made an impression on me.
