~ Lest it appear that arid Buffalo Springs might be bereft of Kenya's National Bird, these images show a Coracias caudata, Lilac-breasted Roller, which was perched on a curving branch. While in Tsavo West we'd become accustomed to the presence of brilliantly plumaged rollers. The same frequency per square kilometer wasn't apparent in Buffalo Springs. However, here and there solitary rollers were observed, inevitably perched in a prominent position.
