Lilac-breasted Roller

Lilac-breasted Roller (Coracias caudatus)

The lilac-breasted roller is an exquisitely colourful bird; many believe its even the most photographed bird in Kenya. What makes these birds unique is their capability to make a somersault in mid-flight, which is why they are called rollers.

Fun fact: It is "unofficially" considered the national bird of Kenya!
