A common Roller species, they are reasonably easy to photograph, once you get one that hangs around for more than 30 seconds. They love to sit high up in a shrub with few leaves or a dead tree seeking grasshoppers, butterflies or anything else tasty. This shot was taken in July, our winter when they aren’t as colourful as in summer.
Shot with a Sigma 170-500mm f/5-6.3 APO Aspherical for Nikon

Thank you for visiting! Since the early '80's I've hand crafted every image with thought, perception and anticipation. Passion is a word freely bandied about by 'togs but passion alone doesn't translate into powerful, emotive, memorable imagery.
Let me show you why you should hire an experienced photographer and not Cousin Piet and his 'nice camera'...
