Uganda Edition: Broad-billed Roller

Broad-billed roller: Lake Mburo National Park, Uganda, August 2022 — the “other” Roller common in Lake Mburo, perhaps even more common than the Lilac-breasted. Not, to my eye, quite so exciting, but a Roller non-the-less. I have yet to see one in flight, so I have not been able to fully appreciate the blue rump and tail. This is another shot from our walking safari on what turned out to be a somewhat cloudy early morning in Lake Mburo. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Pro and Apple Photos. ISO 500 @ f4 @ 1/500th. Plus 1.7EV for backlight.
