Animals and Vegetation in East Africa - Zanzibar Tanzania 2016 - A roller bird is perched on a thick, gnarled tree branch. The bird?s plumage is a striking combination of blue-green feathers across its body and wings, contrasted by a warmer brown head and neck. It appears alert and watchful, scanning the surroundings from its high vantage point. Rollers are known for their hunting technique, often surveying the landscape from a perch before swooping down to catch insects and small prey. This particular roller seems to be demonstrating that behavior, poised and ready for action. Species common name: Roller Family: Coraciidae Scientific name: Coracias sp.
