... what kind of bird this is nor from which country it originates. It doesn't look like anything I recognize from South Africa? But it did sit still watching me for long enough to indicate it would like to have its photo taken
@amarante Thank you. I believe you could be right! I am not familiar with this particular bird, but when I looked up Purple Roller on Google I see it is from Sub Saharan Africa so it just shows how ignorant I really am about our own birds!
