The scorpion was taken at sabi sabi too, on the outside wall of our hut as we were escorted back to our hut for the night !  We had already been told to spend 20 mins checking the room by torchlight for such bugs before we went to bed as there was no electricity.  We must have spent an hour after seeing this guy outside....and even then barely slept !!I've attached the only 2 pics I got of broad-billed Rollers - distant and misty is my excuse !  I've also attached a picture of how they are supposed to look, taken in the gambia !</blockquote>
