love the 2nd shot! 😀
are these a type of kingfisher?
Thanks Chavie…
Took me ages to get one flying 🙂 Spent the better part of an afternoon stalking them!
I’m not an expert on ornithology but I don’t think they are from the Kingfisher family. Rollers eat insects and reptiles and tend to have pretty impressive arial displays (hence the name).

Me too ..love the second shot!
Thanks… I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of bird-life in Kalpitiya.
More to come…
I’ve spent a couple of hours chasing seagulls one afternoon to get that crisp shot like yours (picture #2), but ended up looking like I just finished some marathon, lol. And still didn’t get a decent picture. So great job on that shot!
Nice shots. I didn’t have any luck capturing them in flight.
