I know very little about rhe birds of Africa, including Madagascar, but wow, they're even more beautiful than I expected.

Beautiful birds! You should publish a bird book called birds of the world!

Thanks, I think that has been done by others and better than I can do, but I appreciate the sentiment!

How did you see the broad billed roller. Was it a vagrant?
