Wildlife photographer, being out in the bush is my happy place.
With so many varieties of Starling to see in Africa one of the most striking is the Violet-backed Starling. Stunning plumage, especially when it catches the sun.

It's hard to imagine a more eye catching bird than the Lilac-breasted Roller. It looks great when perched but in flight is when you see it's true colours.

If I'm honest, the birding in Hemis High Altitude National Park was a bit disappointing, but we'd come mostly to see snow leopards and birds were just a bonus we were not too disappointed.
We did see a few nice ones though
