Racket-tailed Roller

Coracias spatulatus

Least Concern

The Racket-tailed Roller is a colorful roller of sub-Saharan African woodland, savanna, and open country. It watches from an exposed branch, wire, or snag before dropping to catch large insects, small reptiles, or other prey, and its broad wings often flash bright colors in a swift, direct flight.
