A little about this image...While focused on this branch to capture a lilac breasted roller take off, a flurry of white feathers came into my view finder. I hit the shutter and was fortunate to capture the African Kite landing. The roller quickly left. I don't know if the Kite was trying to catch the roller, or just liked his perch.
