I have been lucky with rollers this year and on this trip I photographed three different species. The one we saw most times in Namibia was this Purple roller (also called 'Rufous-crowned roller'). It is beautifully colored on the back, but in my opinion the most striking part are the porcupine-like feathers on the chest. This is the largest roller (it can reach up to 16 in) and Namibia is actually the only area where it is the most common roller.
