What they don’t tell you about getting into bird watching is that once you get into it, you do not get to decide when you bird watch. You can be on the beach of some distant tropical country with nothing planned except relaxing. But then you see a Common Fluttering Nut Buster and you’re like fuckkkkkkkk holy shit guys the Common Fluttering Nut Buster is not supposed to live this far west holy shitttttttttt
I just love when birds get spherical
I need a splash of color from Africa again (September 2025). So here are a few pictures of the wonderful lilac-breasted roller. It's the national bird of Kenya and Botswana.
Oh, to achieve such levels of contentment. Not thinking about anything, just taking what's there, revelling in the moment.

Looking forward to colder weather - I seem to find these fellows a lot more in late fall/winter.
